Yashtylov is one of few pipe makers I consider as an artist and his pipes are original. I like the ideas he has created, with his pipes and pipe accessories. My wife is a designer, she doesn't like pipes and said that most pipes I have showed her (Bo, Lars, Jess etc..) look boring. Once I showed her the tamper "Time is timeless" by Yashtylov, she looked at it for few seconds and told me: "this tamper is nice, it has idea and style". This by far the best comment she has said about pipes and anything around pipes. :D
I will be the first to admit that nosewarmers are sort of "trendy". In fact, people just seem to like to collect them. They are definitely a neat LOOK, but not sure if I'd ever smoke one myself.
That said, this particular nosewarmer as well as the 'peeled orange" from a few weeks ago is pretty amazing.

Oh I forgot to say that I like nosewarmers (or short pipes in general). Those less than 5" (i.e 12.5cm) are ideal for me. They give a more intensive taste and smell of the tobaccos.
Nice little pipe. But not much wood for $500.00 -- although I realize that's not the point.
I'd rather throw that kind of cash at a Castello, Ardor or Cavicche.
