The Crazy Haul Part II

bungee · Dec 29, 2015

Well, this is the product of the second and final -for now- trade.
The guy got three very nice British pipes (two 4 digit Charatans and a BBB) and I got these two gorgeous pipes. A Pavel Gorbunov and another Daniel Mustran.
Hope you like them.
Cheers,
J
Pavel Gorbunov

You have done well my son. You have learned the way of the trade... the force is with you.
I just saw the new Star Wars movie... In case you were wondering.

Bungee, you're on a roll. That Gorbunov is stunning. And the matched pair is always a nice thing to have. Well done indeed.

Thank you guys!
@Nate, may the force be with you too!
@Gloucesterman, you are absolutely right Dutch, the Gorbunov is a showstopper. This one required some work. First I gave it the cotton-alcohol treatment as it was awfully ghosted. Then I sanded the rim because it was burned and charred, and finally I completely stripped it and re-stained it for it was a light shade of orange and was full of finger grease. Finally I waxed it, which was not an easy job.

I'm actually pretty happy with the end result, although I would have wanted to achieve a lighter stain.

Your expert opinion?
And yes, the matched pair is nice to have!
Cheers,
J

Nice pipes!! bungee you have the knack for trading!

Thanks for your comments guys.
I just had a bowl of PS Bullseye Luxury Flake in the Gorbunov. Great smoke. Amongst my top 3 pipes easy, maybe one of my top 2 pipes.
Cheers,
J

Very nice set; really love those. I personally find myself drawn to the Gorbunov's design. Glad you like it.
