    Okay guys I thought I would post my newest pipes for you to drool over! I bought both of Unclearthur's Hobbit series pipes and I am going to get them this week! They make quite a pair don't they?


    And I got a pipe from Marty Pulvers as well....


    I have wanted a horn for a long time and this was the first one that I could afford, good thing I think it is pretty!

    Mason jars and bale top jars, mason jars and bale top jars.... that is all!

    All 3 are great.
    I tend to like darker rusticated pipes, and that horn is a shape that I like a lot.
    Good job !

    Very nice Uncle Arthur pipes!

    As for the horn, I agree with Marty when he said

    Horns, I think, are very
    infrequently sand blasted, the point being to show off Bird's Eye
    and cross grain. This is a handsome change of pace.

    Very handsome pipe. I actually really like this pipe over some of the smooth horns I have seen. In fact, I was actually thinking of purchasing the pipe but I decided my girlfriend would castrate me if I spent $60 (which to me is not that much at all for a quality piece of briar, hell even mid-grade Savs and Petes cost more). Anyways, I went with a different pipe set. I still have pipe envy for the record though haha.

    Great looking horn. Alphas tend to be very underrated, I have several of them and they're all great smokes.

    I may be mistaken but I was under the impression that Alphas were made in Israel. Marty had the pipe in the USA section.

    To my knowledge they were produced in the Shalom pipe factory in Israel.

    Maybe since he has no Israel sub page he just categorized it by most popular country for that style to come out of or something? Just a thought. Still confusing though lol. Just like he has no Irish page but the Petersons pop up everywhere (he hates Petes btw and sells them for great prices well under market value IMHO). Sorry Jeremiah I didn't mean to hijack the page.

    Shalom (parent company of Alpha) was taken over by Robert L. Marx of the U.S., that may be why he has it listed that way.

    I had forgotten that Shalom did the Marxman pipes . I think that Shalom is now defunct .

    Arthur, if you ever jack up any pipes so bad you don't want to sell them just let me know. I know a good briar graveyard located in Arkansas operated by this guy named W. Allbright who would gladly take care of them for you. Beautiful pipes!

    I was made aware of Shalom pipes only last week, and I was trying to google information about it in Hebrew, but nothing came up. No mentioning of ever manufaturing pipes in Israel. However, on an English wesite, it was mentioned that only the wood was imported from Israel.
    ...and speaking of PAD, earlier this year I bought a hand made half bent - egg from George, in Bulgaria and it is absolutely gorgeous (on my album)
