Another Holm Coming Home

[Chasing Embers]

I saw this pipe cycle through my "watch" list three times, and threw the seller a lowball offer and they accepted. Damn PAD.... :mrgreen:

Love the man's work. Would love to have rooms filled with his pieces.

I saw that one a few times myself. Nice score, and enjoy the heck out of it! :D

The pics are making me think that this thing is huge! May have it professionally cleaned and polished up.

Beautiful piece. The "Pipe Gods" have smiled on you. Enjoy

Really unique Holm, never seen anything like it. Congrats on a fine addition to your collection. Let us know how it smokes when you get it.

Beautiful example of is work. I have 2 of his Ben Wade pipes plus one he made for Harcourt in the 1970's. Congrats and enjoy it.

A beauty. Congratulations.
I am also a fan of Preben Holm pipes & have over a dozen under his name label as well as Preben-era Ben Wade, Harcort, Wengholt, but no Frasorteret (eg "discarded" in Danish) or IIS (Preben "second") nor the high-end Private Collection or Hallmark series.

All good smokers, though I had to slightly enlarge the airways of a Harcort & a Wengholt to improve their draw & reduce gurgling.

Now that's a true Preben Holm. Please do it and yourself a big favor and have it professionally cleaned.

I's time to post some pix.
Give us a real look, pal.

Though smaller than I imagined, it is still quite the handful. Will be sending this beauty to Mike Meyers for a total restore.

Wow! Congratulations man! The Delight is truly an awesome pipe. I have a few and all I can do is look at them. All mine need a good cleaning but for now I will leave them as they are and just admire them from time to time. I have a difficult time believing that he didn't take a bunch of LSD to come up with those shapes. There is just so much to look at and appreciate in his work. Such a natural looking simplicity in the end result that took so much skill. Truly awesome work. Excellent buy and an excellent choice.

That's a beauty, alright. I always liked Preben Holmes work.
