A Cure for Poker Fever?

[jeremyh]

Thanks to the beautiful wobbly tilted pokers and cherrywoods posted on here lately, my PAD is flaring up again.

Just grabbed this GBD:

I've got a fever and the only cure is more pokers.
This my is only cherrywood. Its a Storient PM 2012. I had his carve MOD on it since I'm a mod and it's the official forum pipe of 2012

Those are both good looking pipes. Now I may have to go searching.

Very nice guys. You guys are making my PAD flare up again as well.

awesome meer! That "MOD" will look great once the color sets in.

Thank! It says PM 2012 on the other side of the shank. I've only smoked it a handful of times. I have to smoke outside, and it's been really cold out. I don't want to risk cracking it.

I missed that GBD, assume it was on Ebay? How is it stamped? (Rockroot?)

Yes, eBay.
Stamped:

GBD

Tabou
then a "St. Claude" stamp and a shape number. I'll know more when it gets here. Haven't seen any Tabou line in the references...

Great looking GBD, congrats on your new pipe. I hope it is a great smoker for you.

 

[instymp]

Good looking Jeremy. Like it a lot.

 

[Perique]

Really like the rustication on that GBD.

 

[rhogg]

The title begs for an off color joke, but I liked the GBD so much I didn't have the heart. I'm glad your yearning has been temporarily cured!

Great looking GBD Jeremy! Also awesome one of a kind PM Meer Ben. Great purchases guys! :clap:

 

[jeremyh]

this GBD Rusticated 1/8 bent Poker finally arrived. Clean as a whistle, and fresh as a daisy.

Nice and light. We'll see how she smokes.

Pokers are lovely in their simplicity. One of mine is a LaRocca with a good big deep bowl and narrow metal band. Recently I saw a Parker in sandblast black.

I hadn't seen a Parker poker before, so I jumped on it. (I'm used to the little apples and pots.) It's a great little pipe, breaking in nicely. I call pokers snowman

pipes because of their homey shape. I have a hand-carved example from Jerry Perry in N.C., with striking variance in the bowl thickness, a kind of zen

irregularity, which I also especially like. Every pipe rack needs a resident poker.
