@aldecaker I have been smoking flake out of mine almost exclusively and you're right, it is a perfect flake pipe!
@davet the ones you've seen pop up are random odds and ends, but sadly we do not have anymore.
Here's mine. You can already tell that it's beginning to darken up!
I prefer a pipe simply waxed with carnauba than a varnished pipe. You just have to nourish the pipe regularly with carnauba and I believe it smokes better.
