Cutty Madness. Match 7.

[cosmicfolklore]

Hmmmm… my vote is 2. The first one just doesn’t have a proportion that meets my eye. #2 doesn’t either… but it has plateau going for it.

close one here. But going with 2. I like what they did with the rim.

 

[SBC]

#2

And in fact it's in my top 3 so far.

 

[OzPiper]

A draw.
Points deducted from Pipe #2 because of the saddle stem

 

[jpmcwjr]

Two, in spite of the stem I don't like.

 

[aspiring_sage]

1!

Two has an interesting bowl but I would char it and ruin it, and I much prefer the stem of 1.

 

[mortonbriar]

#2. I love the spikes. Would it be too much to ask for another 16 commissions, all spiky and cutty?

 

[UB 40]

No 1

 

[Sidehatch]

Tip of the cap to #1

 

[virginiapiper]

I gotta go with #1. While I can appreciate Bakelite and a craggy rim, they’re not for me personally.

 

[autumnfog]

The second. Love the contrasting colors and the plateau top.

 

[RustiePyles CPG]

I'm gonna go with #2 on this one.

 

[lightxmyfire]

#2 for sure, love that stem.

 

[CoffeeAndBourbon]

2 gets my vote. #1 is too chuncky for me

 

[AroEnglish]

1

I agree. And for me it really illustrates the artisan high end pipes don't really are more niche. Like our wine expert (at one job, Janice she was cool by the way) once explained that expensive wines don't need mass appeal they just need to be more or extra enjoyed by a smaller set of people. Or to put it bluntly I really find most fancy artisan pipes blah but man when I don't I really like them (like that one Tsuge Ikebana, man I wish I had the extra grand to blow on it).
