Beautiful! Enjoy them all in good health, my friend.

Thank you.

 

[DanWil84]

Those Danes look great, especially like the smooth cutty! May they bring good smokes.

 

[WVOldFart]

Very nice. I hope they bring you many years of good smokes.

 

[sallow]

That walrus shape is so great, how does it smoke?

 

[AroEnglish]

Danish PAD is the best PAD

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Beautiful pipes, and I hope they all squeeze every drop of flavor out of the tobacco for you.

 

[mso489]

All handsome. That tulip is particularly striking. You could coast on smoking these four for years.

 

[kcghost]

You'll certainly enjoy smoking those!!

That walrus shape is so great, how does it smoke?

Just got it a few days ago. I'll have a smoke with it this weekend. It is deceptively larger than it looks with a Group 5-6 bowl.

 

[Verdant]

I'm a big Danish pipe fan and Tom Eltang is one of my favorite carvers. Congrats!

 

[scout19d3]

whoohee! I like that IB Loran chimney

whoohee! I like that IB Loran chimney

Yes, I love the curves on that pipe.

Looking through my small collection of Danish pipes, the one constant, with very few exceptions, is the Danish propensity to get their curves right. Unlike a lot of Italian makes.

Despite buying one, I don't think that Eltang quite gets the bowl-shank transition right with his cutty/Belge. That's just my very uninformed opinion.

I'm not so keen on the backward canted reformed chimneys with straight stems which are emblematic of Pibe Dan pipes. Too angular.

 

[Briar Baron]

All great for sure, the chimney looks like it could fit half a tin of tobacco in! The walrus is a very elegant design indeed.

 

[craig61a]

So, they'll arrive in fourteen days...?
