Blatter Pipe- New To Me

[papipeguy]

I received this Blatter yesterday. This is my first one of theirs and it is a large pipe. Smokes very cool so I may have to search for others.

Very nice. Was the SLF your first smoke with it?

Very nice, I've been looking for a Blatter but have yet to find one that I like and fits within my price range.

Nice. I'm going to be at their shop tomorrow or Saturday. Looking forward to going through their baskets.

Learned something new. Seems like a great family business with high standards. Nice score.

First bowl was Mick McQuaid Plug and it was great. This pipe just stays cool through the entire bowl. I'll definitely get more in the future.

Bought a nice hand made from them this summer. I don't own a lot of pipes but it's one of my favorites. Really well made and their prices are insanely good compared to Americans ones. Their website is not well made tho!
Here's the link to their catalog.

Very true

Yea, their website sucks

I think they are SEVERELY restricted by the Quebec government, to the point where it isn't worth it to make a good site

Very reasonable pricing for that quality. Thanks for sharing. I just put a shortcut in my pipes folder so you know what that means!

That's a nice pipe. I'm a huge Blatter fan; my grandfather smoked their pipes, and I am working on building a full rotation of Blatters. That's one of their bent Bulldogs in my userpic.

I used to think my vintage Canadian made Brighams walked on water, until I smoked my first Blatter, and now I have three of the latter.
I envy you guys who have access to the Canadian aftermarket - be it estate sales, antique malls, yard sales or junk shops - if only for those two makers alone. Brigham made and Blatter makes quality burners. (Would love to hear more reports on the Italian outsourced Brigham pipes.)
Of course, the downside is your tobacco pricing.

John:
I'm very sorry I didn't lead with my initial reaction to this post.
Your new Blatter is drop dead gorgeous. You've got pretty bird's eye and that red dot always makes me smile. If it smokes as good as it looks, then you hit nothing but net.
