first commission! (Adam)

[mihailo]

over the summer Adam and I were in the planning phase for a commissioned freehand. Well just today I looked in the mail and there was a suspiciously pipe sized box waiting for me, as expected I could hardly contain my excitement and quickly opened the box to find a wonderful pipe bag and an even more beautiful pipe. I couldn't wait to inaugurate her so I loaded a bowl of SPC plum pudding, and let me say she is by far the sweetest briar I have had the pleasure of smoking.

no idea why the image keeps inverting.

Congratulations! Adam does great work. He did this little volcano for me last year, and it's a great smoker!

 

[mihailo]

He does great work, not only was I impressed with the pipe but his pipe bag is one of a kind as well. Looking forward to breaking her in more.

 

[hmhaines]

Excellent bit of briar!

I have a Reverse Calabash nosewarmer made by him

 

[codecreatively]

Great pipes all around! Nothing better than breaking in a new pipe.

Distinctive, very much his style in each case. Congratulations! Those are some trophy pipes.

 

[fitzy]

Don't let it be your last. He's come a long way. You can always take a walk on Adams wild side.

By the way yours is great!

 

[mihailo]

I hope to give him a challenge, and commission one or two more, maybe a morta.

Scrooge, I've never even seen shapes any where near those. CRAZY!!! 8O

The epitome of FREEHAND.

I really like the turquoise stem.

I really like the turquoise stem.

It was a special request, took Adam abit to aquire some. Glad he did though.
