Chicago Pipe Show Acquisitions

[Mike N]

I picked up 9 pipes in Chicago. Here are five of them:

First photo left to right, top to bottom:

Trey Rice smooth bamboo apple.
Joe Hinkle small bamboo pot.
Henri Soerensen (Denmark) smooth billiard bamboo from the Danish Pipe Shop table.
Miliano (Brazil) small rusticated billiard bamboo.
Tom Eltang (Denmark) unusually carved apple direct from his wife, Pia, who had a table. I asked her to sign the pipe sock.

The second photo is a blow-up of the Trey Rice apple.

Very nice. I like bamboo shanked pipes, though I have only 1. Primarily because I find bamboo shanked pipes tend to have bowls with too small of chamber size for my preferences.
