Jesus H. Rodriguez.

Smoking a bowl from the first Weaver blast I’ve ever owned. Not only does it smoke incredibly, the blast/finish is absolutely second to none.

By no means will this be my last Weaver blast.

I figured you knew what you were talking about and when I saw how obsessively you bought them, I needed to put one in my hands to formulate my own opinion.

It’s like smoking art.

No, wait. I mean it sucks and it’s hefty in the palm, is drilled sideways, draws poorly, and the blast is not unlike a pipe I bought that was made by Helen Keller. Everyone steer clear of this trash.

He was no slouch with a smooth finish either.

I’ve got a feeling that I’ll soon know a lot more about his work.

You won't be disappointed.

You won't be disappointed.

If I like them half as much as this one, I’ll like them twice as much as my others.

A pity you never get to commission one. He was a lot of fun to work with and just a real down to earth guy. He would have talked your ear off about the pipe he was working on for you and anything else that popped into his head. He just loved people.?

Doesn’t sound unlike Mark Tinsky. Seems like I’m reminded, almost daily, about how untimely my introduction to this world occurred.

Bruce was a great guy and one of the nicest people you could meet. Once you spent time with him (and smoked a bowl with him) you felt like you just met a new best friend. RIP.

He was a true artist that's for sure. Hard to find better construction and drilling, and I can't think of anyone's sanblasting that I would prefer aesthetically over his. Truly amazing pipes, and a tremendous loss for the world of artisan pipe making. Congrats on your acquisition of one, they are truly special pipes.
