Charatan Lane Era Supreme Extra Large Free Hand

[Saintwilliam]

Here’s and odd ball that I think might be appreciated ‘round these parts.

The stem sadly is a replacement- but I do know that it was made by Julius Vesz here in Toronto.

So what do you all think... it’s a fun one

(Crossing fingers that Mr. Burns weighs in one this one)

Wow! Nice hunk of pipe!

Very unique and nicely cut to show the grain. Someone knew what they were doing.

Nice!! I like the use of the grain pattern.
I’ve not many large pipes, but that is just sweet.

It isn't my cup of tea but if your happy I'm happy.

That's a handful, and the shaping is distinctive. I'm afraid it wouldn't go with my old teeth, but it is certainly an original.

If you ever wanted to have a more authentic duplicate stem made you could always have Rich Lewis so one...

Oh wow! That’s awesome thanks. I don’t actually plan on keeping this one but I will include this information with it for whom ever eventually gets it.

Though I might keep it, I really love the fact that the stem is by Julius. I had many a good chat with him when his shop was at Royal York in downtown Toronto. Who knows...
