Eltang Poker - some bamboo in the rotation!

[codecreatively]

I've been on the hunt for an Eltang bamboo poker for a while, and while the retail price is certainly worth it I wanted to hold out for an estate. The problem is, these hardly come up for sale. I bagged this unicorn this week and cleaned it up, and am having the first smoke with some 2012 Brown Flake. Having fun letting it almost go out and gently puffing it back to full, smokey draws. Here's to the thrill of the hunt!

It's all good, congrats! The flake doesn't look too shabby either.

That's a beautiful blast on that pipe and the flake has a nice little plume to boot! Enjoy.

Eltang's pipes have always been my favorite.

Congrats, even for the nice picture!

Beautiful Eltang poker. I have one as well, that is very similar, except with black bamboo. Smokes wonderfully.

Everyone is like "wow, it's great, nice this nice that... "

Great score, been on the lookout for one of his smooths with a tons birdseye, so far out of my price range. Glad you score a great smoker.

These pokers are so balanced and iconic, really nice addition.
Wish you tasty smokes.

The Danish Pipe Shoppe carries Eltang's Sailor pipes, which are, well, cousins to this pipe at a much lower price. Not the same, I know, but they are distinctively fun and very practical everyday pipes. And the blastin' ain't bad!
