I've been seeing quite a few color Dukes on ebay lately, Mike. Should I send you links if I see more?

You'd be surprised how seldom green ones pop up. I've been looking for him too.

thanks, but I have an eBay alert that sends me links when they are posted. Lots of white pipes, and few green. Although I may want to get the whole colour wheel one day!

I've been looking for him too.

much appreciated ?

I’ve got a green stain Big Ben lovat, plus a plethora of your typical reddish briar pipes of varying shapes

Honestly I like a lot of the more colorful pipes. I have even been eyeing up a nice red pipe which over the years that's been a common color for me and pipes. And I didn't include my Vauen which has a blue stain but it's a dark blue. It is like when someone with black or dark brown hair dyes their hair blue or purple and it looks normal until the sunlight hits it and then you can see the colored sheen. Which I think is awesome in both cases. Though now that I think about it I don't like yellow pipes. The silly part is it looks to my eye like plastic.

Matches its pipe quite well.? Bruce was fond of making multi-piece stems and when he did his "pipeadelic" pieces, he went wild.?
