A sweet pipe

Wow. That's beyond awesome.

Very cool pipe. I love seeing pipes with some creativity.

I missed this thread. What a cool pipe. I have only seen fitted cases for meets so this is new to me.

I believe that Cortez is correct in his description of this beauty as a, "fluted billiard." As for the color, I would call it plum.
You, Sir, are a lucky man to own such a pipe! May it reward you with many fine hours of companionship throughout the years.

Thanks for the great posts EVERYone! Love that music. Love that geometry.
I imagine that you'll smoke Orlik Golden Slices in your Gold Banded Flute.

That is an elegant piece! You may now consider me officially jealous! Don't know how I missed this thread when it came out, but I'm very happy to see it now.

Man did you do well! The Orlik article you posted is superb! Did you put it on Pipedia? Listen, Troy, if Pipedia will take me, they'll take anyone. They're looking for contributors, so don't be shy. Besdes, Scott Thiele, who created Pipedia is not only one of the best carvers working today, he's a heck of a nice human being!
