Estate Scott Thile

[allan]

sorry: pictures didn't work first try.
Just received this Estate Scott Thile from 'Two Friends Pipes".
I own another one of his creations, a Lovat style. I really wanted a bent, and this ball shape feels really nice in my hand. Really nice grain, excellent fit and finish IMHO.
I just opened the box and needed to share it with you guys.
Thank you, Harris, for finding this for me.
Their description:
"This is an outstanding piece of work from Scott Thile. The grain is outstanding the fit and finish is just what you have come to expect from Scott...Awesome. The pipe has an ivory cap on the shank. This pipe was smoked one time. The pipe is 5 1/4 inches long. The bowl is 1 3/4 inches high, and it weighs 46 grams"

[allan]

Thanks, Brad
Again, it's Harris' fault LOL
I told my wife about it, and she just gave me that 'look'.

Thanks guys
I'm going to wait until I have the proper time to treat this one with special attention. Not sure but I'll probalby dedicate this to Virginia blends.

 

[bigvan]

Wow! Simply stunning. Nice choice, Allan.

That is a very nice pipe. I saw it on that site a couple weeks ago and couldn't believe that someone didn't snatch it up as soon as it was posted.

Great looking pipe, and Bobby Nesbitt is a great guy to do business with as well. Congrats on a fine acquisition.

Doc
You are so right. Bobby seems like a really nice guy. He was preparing to go to the Virginia pipe show in a car with rad Davis
Looking forward to meeting them at next years Chicago pipe show

Two Friends always seem to have some primo estates. That Thile is a beauty!

 

[sjfine]

I'm sorry...but is that a $16,000 pipe at that site?
$16,000?
My parents paid $16,000 for their first house.
I didn't pay $16,000 for my 02 x5.
Man, and I was discouraged by the prospect that my favorite pipe was going to (eventually) cost me about $600.
...
$ 1 6 t h o u s a n d ?
For a pipe.

You can't go wrong with a Thile.

 

[cigrmaster]

Allan, sure blame me, lol. You were the one looking and I just found a beauty for you. I hope that pipe smokes as good as it looks. Knowing it is a Thile, I am pretty confident you will love it. Please report back after your first smoke.

Harris
Thanks again for finding it. There are just so many pipes out there that are so amazing-I trying to control the PAD, but its just I get so worked up that I just have to have it...
Can't imagine what the Chicago show is like. I was told, 'bring plenty of cash'.
LOL

 

[cigrmaster]

My pleasure Allan. I hear you need to bring lots of cash to Chicago, a guy like you should have at least 5k in your pocket. lol
