Picked up a Sergey Senatorov pipe from ebay for a great price. His stem work is very unique. Here are some of the vendor's photos. Anyone else around here have one in their collection?

serge, that is a fantastic looking pipe with some really nice grain. I have heard of this artisan but do not know anyone who owns one. I will be curious to hear your thoughts on how it smokes. I hope you love it after smoking it. Congrats on your latest acquisition.

Beautiful pipe with fluid lines, like Harris said we want to know how it smokes.

Sweet!
Congrats on the superfine pipe.
I agree that his stemwork is unique and very cool too.
He only uses ultra-grade briar as well, should be a great smoker for you!

Gorgeous pipe! If it smokes as good as it looks, it should produce an amazing smoke! Congrats!

Beautiful pipe, and do let us know how it smokes and the quality of the stem-work. I'll be moving to his home town in a few months so maybe I'll be able to get one of his from the source...if I'm lucky.

The stem is pretty interesting, it has a very wide and deep 'v' channel into the stem and the bit is rounded over. The bit also has a horizontal groove cut into it, here's a good view of one of his bits from the side.

The stuff coming out of the Eastern European area is pretty amazing. One day I hope to own a Yashtylov, or Grechukhin.
@CaptainSousie, What takes you to Latvia?

Bradley and serge. Yep, picked up a new job there starting next year. Looks to be a fun time and (hopefully) a good career move.

Just lit this guy up with some SG Best Brown Flake, pretty tasty for a first smoke. Even though the bowl had some sort of coating I would get hints of briar flavor from the shank. when I reached the bottom of the bowl wanting more all I got was a mouthful of ash.
