An Asami Kikuchi Tsuge Ikebanao

[OzPiper]

Just arrived from Japan today
An unsmoked Tsuge Ikebana Asami Kikuchi bent Egg. Pipe 029 from 2020.
Pics are taken by the vendor.
The pipe is as beautiful as its maker is winsome

Thank you.
I had been on the lookout for a Kikuchi Tulip or Egg for a while.
The fit and finish on this is spot-on.
I can't wait to fire it up.

Very nice., the shank to stem transition is just superb. Bet it looks good when being smoked.

She is certainly very attractive ?

Am I shallow enough to buy a pipe just because the maker is beautiful ? ?

Hell, YES !
