Bamboo Pipes Seem To Be All the Rage

[Mike N]

Not too long ago, my perception of bamboo was that it was used to fix a defect a maker found in a briar stem. Now it seems to be all the rage by top artisan pipe makers on instagram. It’s a bit tricky to master. Here are 6 handmade bamboo pipes. Please post any in your collection.

Broken Pipe Brother in Briar, Banjo used to show off some beautiful bamboo.
I have a factory made MM cob with a bamboo shank. I think of it as my Banjo cob.

I like them a lot but I just haven’t gotten one yet. Radice fake bamboo would be just fine with me.
