I have a PAD problem... As soon as I see these I just had to do it.

Magnum Bent Sandblast Cobra:







Length: 7.36 in / 18.69 cm
Height: 3.17 in / 8.07 cm
Width: 2.39 in / 6.07 cm
Chamber Diameter: .94 in / 2.40 cm
Chamber Depth: 2.57 in / 6.54 cm

Sandblast Nautilus:







Length: 5.92 in / 15.04 cm
Height: 2.66 in / 6.76 cm
Width: 1.79 in / 4.57 cm
Chamber Diameter: .79 in / 2.00 cm
Chamber Depth: 1.79 in / 4.56 cm

The magnum looks like a monster! Can't wait for these to arrive.

I saw those disappeared rather quickly, glad you scooped em up.

Very sharp!

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

The symmetry of that cobra is perfect! I understand why you had to have them. Congrats.

 

[mso489]

I like the blast, decisive but subtle. Totally unique shapes.

Congrats, I have a pipe from him. His stemwork is very comfortable. I haven't reached for it in a while, I'll smoke it this weekend

That Cobra is sic.

Those are beautiful pipes. I echo the comments on the cobra. PAD is a real thing. I find I am quickly succumbing to the disease.

Congratulations - I had the Cobra in my basket, but you beat me to the punch. I hope it smokes great for you!

Update with more pics and for @didiit did happen!

The cobra is an exquisite monster:



Not only am I impressed by the size, I'm amazed by the use of the grain. It starts from a point facing you:



And radiates in a circle both directions towards the opposite side:



Finishing with a seem of natural plateau:



The shank has symmetrical lines down opposite sides of the shank that follow through to the stem in flawless transition:



I give it a thumbs uo:



The chamber is cavernous and my thumb can't reach the bottom!

The nautilus is a nice size and fits my collection very well:



I love the grain on the top:



I also love the way the stem mounts:

They look incredible. Congratulations to a hopefully terrific purchase.

Doug can really make a pipe. It is amazing what a talented guy can do when he listens to George Dibos.

Thanks very much for your support @shanez
Here's a link to the original pictures I took of the Cobra with specs.

I looks like the bevel before the bit is flatter than the pipe I got. A good improvement I think.

If it's a pipe I made, you know how to get ahold of me and I can adjust it as necessary.

 

[kcghost]

Of course, I know how to get a hold of you. If I thought it was a real significant issue I'd have done something about it. The pipe smokes amazingly well and I enjoy it very much.
