Another Ryan Alden Stunner for collection

[ashdigger]

It’s been a rough week at sea. I’ve been busy. Had some complications and needed a win. Ryan had been teasing this pipe for a bit. Then he sent me pics. Oh yeah, it’s heading my way.

It weighs 41 grams. The bowl is 1.89” tall and the chamber is .80” x 1.49”.

I’ve already decided this is my Klondike Gold pipe.

Here are Ryan’s photos

He caught that swirled ebonite on just the right orientation to carve the bit. Love it!

 

[JimInks]

What a stunner!

Oh that's nice! See, this is what a pipe should look like! He made a goofy colored stem acceptable!

That my friend, is something I'd smoke! And I don't say that too often!

Do you suppose that discoloration will come off of the stem?

The briar is beautiful, and I hope that this pipe proves to be a good companion to you.

My man, it looks like Ryan left something in the stem.

Kidding aside, that turned out amazing.

Enjoy.

 

[DesertDan]

Very beautiful, congrats!

 

[Daddypants]

Gorgeous pipe. I love the stem.

 

[jpberg]

That’s not awful.

Great looking pipe. Let us know how it smokes.

Do you cull all of Ryan's pipes before the generalized public of other pipesmokers ?

Stout looking piece. Should make up for your troubles at sea. Enjoy your new pipe!

 

[Bbailey324]

Nice looking pipe for sure. I like that stem.

 

[buckaroo]

Wow, I want that. Nice curves. Great stem. Enjoy.

Ryan is rapidly rising up the ranks. If you like Rad Davis and Jack Howell pipes, you'll love Ryan's. Great pipe as digger!

 

[LotusEater]

Definitely a keeper.
Love it.

 

[RookieGuy80]

Beautiful pipe! That should ease many a rough day at sea. I have yet to see an Alden I wouldn't like to have.

Ryan is usually dependable in delivering to you exactly the pipe ordered.

That grain....damn!
