Cooke Billiard & Weaver Poker

[peckinpahhombre]

I know Roth will hate these given his articulated views on black blasts, but I love a black blast. In the last couple of days I have picked up a JT Cooke Billiard and a Bruce Weaver bamboo poker. I love bamboo on a poker, but I do appreciate that some hate it. Thought I would share the new acquisitions.

Love that Billiard Peck. I saw the email, checked the site nine minutes later and it was SOLD. There was a not so quiet voice in the back of my mind saying, "I wonder if that was Peck?" Nice score man. I know that JT calls that stain "Black" but it looks like it carries a purple tint. Do you have any other Cooke's with the same stain? Does that tint show the same in person as it does in the pics?
Congrats on a great looking pipe.

Hey Pruss - No, in person it looks black to me.

I love black blasts too, and those are awesome examples as to why!

So that's who snagged it. LOL. I was sorely tempted, but hesitated and the rest is history. Congrats peck on a stunning Cooke.

Both gorgeous, but that Cooke is simply incredible. Congrats...enjoy.

Love the Bambo one, although they are both sublime, Great pipes Peck.

Peck, you are certainly quick on the trigger. I saw that Cooke come in last night and poof, Sold. Congrats buddy. Great looking Weaver also.

peck, both great looking pipes, way to go. That Cooke has like a purpleish hue to it, very cool. That poker is awesome with the bamboo, should be nice and light. Definitely fine additions to the collection.

Wow, both lovely, and in complete contrast on the blast. The Ying and the Yang I guess, enjoy the pair.

AWESOME Cooke peck!! I clicked on the link soon as it came through my email and by the time I and gotten to his page the pipe was sold. I said to myself, I bet dollars to pesos that SOB peck just added another one to his Cooke collection, God I hate him.... :wink: Congratulations on another beautiful pipe I love that black/purple color and I think that Halloween color stem he does would have looked sweet on that pipe as well. Truly one of a kind. :clap:

That is an amazing blast in that Cooke! Two very nice pipes!

 

[ejames]

Nice pair! I think I'd like the poker better with a couple less knuckles though.

 

[peckinpahhombre]

It's odd. I am color blind so I don't see the red or purple hue you guys mention. I just see black.

Great pipes! I, too, love black sandblasts. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
(Suddenly, out of nowhere, I have this mysterious urge to acquire another black blast.)

 

[tennsmoker]

J.T. wrote the book on blasts. I have lusted for one of his pipes for years. One of these days I'm going to bust loose and pull the trigger.
The poker is beautiful as well.
Those are just great looking pipes, Peck. Treasures for sure. Congrats and I know you will enjoy them.

Peck,
Love the bamboo! Something about the combination of briar and bamboo that just looks right...

 

[dnietosi]

Man! Those look just awesome!

 

[papipeguy]

Love the Cooke; not sure about bamboo but congrats on both. Happy smoke rings.

Just saw the email this morning. Peck, do you have some sort of auto-purchase thing programmed?
Nice score. Simply love that pipe and ALL of JT Cooke's work.
