Covet Thy Pipe

[donjgiles]

I'd love to see it, if you don't mind...

If there were one I would covet, that Cannoy wax drip would fit the bill. Awesome looking pipe.

:nana: :worship: :rofl:

It's funny that wax drips were mentioned as my Larrysson Drip is my precious as great blast and great gooey drips. A fun pipe.

 

[donjgiles]

I'm gonna start a new thread, I want to see them!

The only pipe I covet belongs to Jesse. Jesse, if you could please post a pic of your Tatum volcano I’d be much obliged. This is the best looking pipe I’ve ever seen.

 

[rmpeeps]

Do NOT cover that Tatum Volcano. That’s my job.

 

[sablebrush52]

Your wish is my command.

 

[rmpeeps]

Dang auto-correct.

Beautiful pipe, Jesse.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Wow Jesse, that is one of the most beautiful pipes I've seen.

 

[philobeddoe]

That’s the one! :worship:

I've seen the Balleby panel and it is sumptuous! However when I look at the obscene price, I immediately lose interest. Though the reality is that I'm no judge of price, my gut revolts.

 

[haparnold]

As a general rule, I don't like Danish pipes, and I generally don't like pokers. But I LOVE Tom Eltang's rusticated pokers.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I think this one is pipegasmic!!!

 

[saltedplug]

As soon as I saw all the white I thought Cannoy. Unusual and very appealing.
Though I agree the rustication of the Eltang poker is also appealing, what I think about is how quickly he can knock out half a dozen of these for ~$550.00 a hit when this is at most a $200.00-$300.00 pipe.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Yeh, it seems counter intuitive. When a pipemaker is starting out and taking three days to make a pipe, it goes for $150 or so, and then as he gets good enough to crank out a half dozen a day, the price goes up.
But, having been a part of the art community for decades, I will never understand why someone would want to hand-make more than one of any given design. You have the whole world of imagination and creativity at your command, and you make the same damn design dozens of times? At least in the jewelry world, and just about every type of craft, when someone is making many of the same design, they are farming it out or casting or using some sort of production method. A truly creative person would go crazy doing that.

Jay, that Rad is probably my ugliest, but it smokes real good. You can covet all you want, I ain't getting rid of it. :nana:
jesse, that is a pretty one.

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

One of these Grant Batson Tormented Blowfish.... Peck, if my eyes don't deceive me, I think you own this one.

Here is another pipe on the Covet List for me. An original Brakner Danish Opera shape with regular round chamber. It is a pre - W.Ø. Larsen model. As a collector of this shape, this original is a grail pipe.

 

[cigrmaster]

I would love to own a pipe from S.Bang. Their classic shapes are what I really like. This one is a perfect example.
