A New Addition

[pipesandscotch]

Have seen references for years, and more recently after reading an article by Dan Locklair in the NASPC newsletter and listening to an old episode from Brian Levine's podcast, decided to pull the trigger and add a Julius Vesz 'Raindrop' to the collection. I appreciate the history and craftsmanship associated with Mr. Vesz, so was very excited. Came yesterday and am looking forward to its initial smoke.

I love the Vesz pipes. Everyone one I have smokes great.

I don’t own one but they certainly are nice looking pipes- enjoy!

Gavin McCleod has a nice looking pipe.

That's a unique design, eye-catching. Does the chamber open out below the narrow brim? If so, it looks like it would hold a world of blend. I think that's rustication, not blast, done with a discerning hand.

No. It is a more narrow chamber, probably in the area of a group 4. Perfect size for me.

I have several raindrops by Vesz and they are wonderful instruments to smoke with.

Nice pipe. I've never heard of Vesz until now.

I went to the website and saw this


Wow! I want to go and smoke a pipe in that red chair.

That's beautiful, enjoy.

How do you feel about the draw?

Thank you.

I have to admit the guy does nice stuff. Different enough to be interesting but not to the point of taking a poop on the basics.

 

[kcghost]

The draw is wonderful also.

Why oh why have I become addicted to collecting pipes? It's about 3 months now. I have 7 pipes and have my eye on 4 more. Help? Still it's not as bad as my main addiction UAS (Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome). Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome - After Dinner Ukulele Society - https://adukes.org/members/ukulele-acquisition-syndrome/
Now if I could only find a way to smoke my pipe and play the ukulele at the same time....
