Estate Reiner Pipe

[delkhouri]

So I am the new proud owner of a Estate Reiner pipe art design Pipe. I purchased it on the 'bay and don't know much about it. I have smoked Reiner tobaccos before and google searches lead me mostly to info about tobacco and not pipes. Does anyone have any experience with Reiner pipes? How should I expect it to smoke? I truly didn't expect to win the pipe as I have been consistently outbid on pipes at the last second. Any info will help, thanks.
here is a picture of the pipe:

Thanks, It is in the mail and I should get it Tuesday or Wednesday. It is used and has quite a bit of caking in the bowl and on the rim, but all that can be cleaned.

Very nice looking pipe, I hope it smokes well for you.

It arrived today. Its nice. It took me a while to clean out the cake, but I think I did a pretty decent job. Now its time to wait a few days to let it air out.

Looks good and if it's anything like my Reiner it will be an excellent smoker. Have you had a look at the stamping?

Very nice. Is this the same company that makes (or at one time made) LGF?

It is my understanding that an man by the name of R.L. Will designs the pipes and they are made for the Reiner Company. R.L. Will also blends the Reiner and Solani Tobaccos.
