Thank you. I am not planning to keep it unattended ?Very beautiful.
If I were you I'd avoid ever setting the pipe down on a sofa or armchair, or any other bit of furniture where tired people plant their bottoms down without looking twice.

Thank you ?Definitely not my style. But, she is a supreme artisan carver & her stuff is very impressive. Congratulations and many pleasant smokes with her. ?️
Thank you. I did not ask the weight , but it is not very heavy. Hard to clench, but that is for the lengthWonderful pipe! Looks perfect for a smoke while relaxing in a chair with a good book!
Do you know what it weighs?
Thank you!Amazing!
Also useful if you have to fish something out from under the fridge.
Thank you. Smokes like a charmAlways enjoy looking at her pipe. Sort of makes me nervous, but sucha well crafted pipes.
In spades! Lovely pipe!Thank you. I wanted something which is somewhat conservative yet full of her signature. She delivered it in an excellent manner ?
1. I find the draw quite perfect and effortless. To be honest I can adjust my cadence ranging from Meerschaum which has under 3 mm draft hole, to Savinelli 6 mm tenons, so I did not ask her, but should be in the range3.5 mm to 4.2 mm draft hole, and a slightly larger airway.How open is the draw? What's the slot at the bit look like? Is it funneled? Is the tenon chamfered? Tightness of the stem to stummel fit?
Yes … the stainless steel shaft is the airway from the draft hole till the very end where it forms the tenon.But isn't the airway the stainless steel shaft that (presumably) runs from the draft hole in the chamber to the protusion where it forms the tenon?
It's superbly engineered, fo' sho'!
Quite an amazing piece - I hope you’ll post a photo of you smoking it.
Thank you ? I have smoked it today and it smoked wonderful. Posted a picture in this thread a few posts up as well as “What Are You Smoking” threadGorgeous!
Agree!
Thanks so much for writing all that out. I really appreciate it....
It smokes wonderfully, and it’s perfect airway drilling.
Same basic idea as Scottie's. Scottie uses a surgical steel tubing for support. She used to test their sturdiness by dropping the pipes from about 16' onto concrete. Only one snapped and that was because it hit with the shank end dead on with the concrete surface. The other aspect of this kind of construction is that the airway is smooth all the way from the chamber to the slot. No gaps, no turbulence, no issues. Keeping the airway clean is effortless.What a lovely pipe. I have an Eldritch Pipes Slender Man, with a similar (but not as long) pencil shank. He uses carbon fibre as the supporting rod / reverse tenon.
