Received quite a large package yesterday, Opened it and there was this lovely large Freehand with tons of tins of Sutliff Tobbaco. I was gonna wait till morning th put the match to it but around Midnight PMon started barking so suited up for Springles and Logs, if you have a dog you know what I mean. Dave had asked for a picture of me smoking it so I packed really tight getting ready to put it thru its paces, it's a big hunk of Briar, he happened to be up and we started messageing . I started to give Hume a performance test, took out my Thermal gun and smoking really fast it was 118 on outside if bowl, 1/2 down 138, puffing hard down to btm 148 these are all degrees. Took several pictures of inside the bowl 1/2 down 3/4 down and then to the magic moment., The Bottom, Most high quality briar tastes sweet to the first few smokes, lo and behold it was very sweet. Dave is a fine young man and it is an honor to be his Friend. Las Pa La Patot!

A class guy gifted a beautiful handmade burner to a beloved class guy on this forum.
Talk about a win-win situation.

Great gesture in gifting a hand made pipe. It certainly is a cold weather smoker with the thick walls. Enjoy Bradley

Thanks for all of the compliments, gents. Bradley is a good friend and has been nothing but an encouragement in my pipe making endeavors and he even went as far as sending me one of my white whales, a Nording Bear. So I decided to make him this pipe. I will post up some other photos of it soon if anyone is interested. The stem is a turquoise cumberland and I stained the burl black sanding it down so as to leave the low areas black. Bradley worked for Exxon for a number of years so I was going for an oily looking accent. Anyway, it is always fun to make a pipe for someone and try to tailor it specifically to that person. This pipe would be my old cajun interpretation.
