A real corker

From the bench of the late Italian Pipemaker Tommaso Spanu is this Cork bent capped Billiard keeping it smokey with Capstan Blue.

I have one very like it. One of my best smokers.

Perfect for fishermen -- it floats.
Of course, some of us do our fishing at the seafood counter at Randall's, where one cannot smoke a pipe apparently...

Saw one at a B&M with a cork block that was cut to lay the pipe in.

This pipe smokes flakes like no tomorrow sablebrush52 and is one of my best smokers as well, regards.

This is getting depressing seeing so many pipes, means another trip to the doctors office for more anti- depressants.

fish', I've never seen one of those. I bet that bowl never raises its temperature by so much as a tenth of a degree. Very light weight too.

A good time for all of us to appreciate what we have, as we appreciate what others have.

That does rock! Clever folk could also cover their good smoking but bad looking pipes with cork! Here's another "corker" from Spanu

I like the look of the pipe a lot. This thread gave me another idea. Somewhere I have a cork block from a life jacket. Very old, 3 three thick sections of cork held together by dowels. It looks a lot like a piece from a jacket like this. I think it needs to become a pipe holder.

Great! The fancy ones from that era were covered in canvas.
