I got a commission in from Russ Cook, and am very pleased with it. I asked him to make me a pipe a few months back, and he asked what I wanted. All I told him was, "I want a ball shape with a swoopy shank". He is in my estimation, an extremely underrated carver. Each smoke is evident that he pays attention to the little details.




I loaded it up with OGS shortly before posting here, and it's smoking like a champ.

Some really unique shaping in both the briar and the stem, and the end piece on the shank is a real touch.

That's a beauty!
I own a Russ Cooke that is one of my favorite smokers. I don't like Russ personally though. He beat me in the Kansas City Slow Smoking Contest a few years ago and I am still holding a grudge. :wink:
Congrats again!
