I really do like the top one a lot, but I am in the unfortunate group of sorry individuals who would rather not see bamboo on a pipe.
I love black sand blasts. That, and black blasts with shades of red... and apparently purple.
I figured the poker would have some divergent views. The negative reaction some folks have to bamboo on a pipe is something I have noticed - add that to a poker, a shape that many folks also dislike and you have a pipe that is a real outlier. I personally find bamboo on a poker pipe a really elegant combination. In any event, it's good we all have different tastes or we would all be chasing the same woman (well, except for Harris - he would ask Rad Davis to commission him a seven day set of women)
