Anyone Own a Rusen Rusenov Pipe?

[petes03]

I’ve always wanted an Eskimo shape, but never found one in my price range that I actually liked. I ran across this Rusi estate for a song and couldn’t pass it up. It looks to be very well made, and a classic representation of the shape. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with him and his pipes. Apparently he’s been around for a while now. I can’t wait to se how it smokes.

I don't have one.

Yet.

I've been looking at some of his stuff. Some stuff I don't care for but some stuff looks not only fantastic but very reasonably priced.

It’s missing the warp nacelles. I hope they gave you a discount for that.

Those are sold separately.

Resurrecting an older thread.
I have owned this one for several years. It is a wonderful smoker and the workmanship is first class.
Being a pipe maker myself, I appreciate the attention to detail in the black palm shank adornment. The stemwork is flawless.
I think that Rusen’s work is marvelous and was acually google-ing him because I am the market for another one of his master pieces. Highly recommended.

I was smoking mine yesterday. Very reasonably priced as Shanez said.
