    John Aylesbury Luxury Flake

    Iamn8 gifted me some of this to try. Thanks Nate! I have smoked my fair share of Virginias over the last twelve years and had yet to put this one on my tried list until now. Probably the nicest VA in terms of looks I have seen. Nice yellow gold flakes with mottled dark brown and stripes of black...

    Made Pipe #13, The Zerg

    After failing 4 times to make a Lovat and then cracking the shank on another requested pipe, I decided I needed to make something fun for myself before attempting them again. This one I called The Zerg as an ode to the game Staarcraft. The chin is too abrupt and if I would have drilled the bowl...

    Made Pipe #12, A Chimney

    This was my 3rd attempt at a Lovat for jkrug and I ended up nicking the bowl with my sanding disc. So I chased it down smooth and it turned into a Chimney. There are many technical issues with it as once it turned into a chimney I knew it would be a shop pipe. It smokes well but there are...

    Made Pipe #11, A Danish Dublin

    This one is a gift to my sister. She had two requirements, it had to be purple and it had to be small. She wants to display it on her mantle, so I figured I'd make it sit. This thing had nice crisp lines at the stem saddle but buffing a piece this small proved to be quite difficult so I lost...

    First Commission Pipe #10, Natural Tomato

    I made this one as a commission, it is my first . . . and tenth pipe. It is going to Ireland! I'm pretty stoked! I am calling my brand Carmette Pipes. It is a combination of my daughters names.

    Made Pipe #9, A Natural Tomato

    Best one yet! Really working hard on button and slot shaping as well as using needle files at the shank to bowl junction. Used White delrin for the tenon since the lucite is pretty translucent, but not sure how I feel about it. If I had a lathe I would have cut an integral tenon. I think the...

    Made Pipe #8, A Diplomatic Prince

    Here's my latest. I have no idea if this is more of a diplomat or more of a prince. The button and slot shaping are killing me. The battery on my camera was dying so I rushed and forgot to snap one of the right side. It is a small pipe. Only 31 grams. All criticism and tip/pointers are...

    Made Pipe #5, A Horn

    Really happy with this one overall. it is a gift to my Dad for Father's day. The briar turned out to have a ton of worm holes, but it is what it is. I really tried to take advice from my last few pipes and put a lot of time and focus onto the stem. The chamber is a bit out of round as I still...

    My 4th Pipe Made, A Volcano

    This pipe turned into quite the learning experience! I didn't intend to put bamboo on this but ended up cracking the shank when I was shaping. So a whole ton of hours later I have this pipe. Red tripoli buffing was not nice to me on this one. Did the best I could, but my skill level is not at...

    Condor Green Ready Rubbed - phonomet

    Phonomet was generous enough to send me a sample of Condor Green Ready Rubbed. Here are my thoughts. Pouch note/aroma- I spent the most time smelling this as I have any other blend ever. One second I get liquid smoke, the next citrus, the next tonquin, the next mentholatum, I give it a shake...

    Ebay is so frustrating

    I've been anticipating auction end on a rad Davis pipe. I put in my bid with 10 seconds left. I was high bidder and right at the last second I was outbid. Is everyone using esnipe services? For crying out loud. What a letdown. This was going to be my 3rd tadpole, I bid over an extra 80 from...

    Sharing Tobacco

    I've amassed a vast collection over the years. I most notably enjoy try unavailable blends from yesteryear. That being said, I've been playing with the idea of offering some for others to try and appreciate. So, I'd like to offer a sample to the first person that PMs me. The only thing I ask in...

    McClelland Balkan Beauty

    At the Chicago show this year they had the "tobacco bowl" one of the entrants that really tripped my trigger was McClelland's Balkan Beauty. Now I don't have a current tin of Blue Mountain (Balkan Blue) open at the moment, but I was wondering if this was a bulk version of that. Smoking it now I...

    Tin Art Project

    I was thinking about taking pics of all of my tins (i have quite a variety), and putting them into a gallery or slideshow of sorts. This would take quite a bit of effort and time. Before embarking on this project I am wondering if anyone here thinks it would be a worthwhile endeavor. Any thoughts?
