Waiting on Steve to mail, grade 1, I have a grade 2,3, and now I am on the hunt for a 4. It is a long pipe and bigger than most of his pipes. His pipes are fine smokers.

Une très belle pipe, Monsieur!

Great looking pipe Brad! The shank looks to be faceted, which you don't see that often. Yes, No?

Anyway congrats on another stunning pipe! :clap:

Orley from the pics I believe it is.

Brad, fantastic looking pipe, the look of it really caught my eye also, great looking blast, and the faceted shank. Well done!

I lost the one I was bidding on from him. But, that's a beauty, congrats!!

Beautiful pipe Brad! I would be interested in the specs. And when you get it post a pic of the 3 pipe family!

You have great eye Brad, that is a stunning pipe, I want a Safferling as well. While you tend to like your pipes on the large size I'm in the opposite spectrum and like them with small bowls in the group 1-3 rang, I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Enjoy that beauty.

Fish if ever I see a smaller one I believe you will like, I"ll give you a shout out.

Thanks Brad, here's a Ser Jacopo Maxima in your wheelhouse.

 

[tbradsim1]

WOW!

 

[ssjones]

Heck of a choice.

I really thought that pipe was special when it came in, and yes, it has a very artistically constructed facet shank. Thank you again for the purchase, Brad, and I hope the pipe gives you many years of enjoyment.
