For the Hard-Core Lovecraft Fan

[kcvet67]

This is a pipe you're gonna love or hate:

[pawpaw]

probly look better in Meer and all of those pics and not one of the very front

 

[ace57]

Nope! Not for ME.

 

[ohin3]

Love it, but not something that I would smoke really.

 

[baronsamedi]

I'd smoke that, but I actually have a Black Goat of the Woods Tavern T-shirt. Pipe's a little rich for my blood right now, though. Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn!

 

[zanthal]

Interesting ... I've read some Lovecraft and even played the role playing game, and I know the kind of cult following he has. Still, I'm surprised that pipe is bringing such a price.

 

[spartan]

There is a picture of the front pawpaw, scroll allllllll the way to the bottom. It's not HEAD ON but you get the idea.
Nice pipe, not something I'd smoke. More like a show piece or collectable.

 

[olderthandirt]

Not a hard-core fan by any means but I re-read some of HP's work from time to time.
Conventional take on the old ones but the only one I've seen done on a pipe.

I'd smoke the thing with no hesitation at all.

 

[pstlpkr]

Your exactly right KC.

 

[rhogg]

I'm not feeling the love.

 

[matchstickman]

OK, Im going to be the lone dissenter here, being the total Lovecraft nerd that I am. I have read the mans entire literary offerings several times over, and have lots of Cthulhu related stuff sitting in my closet. The only thing that I can say about this pipe is:
8O :worship:

 

[romeowood]

I'll give him an E for effort, kc--but have you seen Stephen Downie's take on the dark one? The man is truly gifted.

 

[dhizzy]

Yuck. I'll stick to my cheapies. And I have no idea what lovecraft is so maybe that's why I don't care for it.

 

[harrier52]

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn!

 

[loborx]

I still think Trever Talbert gets the closest to the Lovecraft aesthetic in his pipe carvings. I submit this beauty for your examination. Talbert's 2010 Halloween Pipe:

 

[romeowood]

That is actually a sweet pipe, loborx--but damn you for adding another name to my PAD list :evil:

Well, since it's a dedicated thread, I'll drop the picture bombs from Downie:

and

R'lyeh

 

[loborx]

I really like that R'lyeh pipe. The Cthulhu is a bit over-the-top for my taste but I have to give it props for detail and coloring. I don't think I would ever smoke it. I would just pull it out to scare trick-or-treaters on Halloween!

 

[olderthandirt]

Completely spaced the Talbert pipes, thanks for throwing those out there romeowood.
And yes, I'd smoke any of them with a mixture of pleasure and fear!

 

[ichbinmuede]

I'm not too big on figural briars but the first here sort of appeals to me. The Downie koo-koo-Cthulhu...not so much, but the artistry does impress me. I have however loved his R'lyeh since I first saw it. Maybe it's those non-Euclidean angles...
And since it's that time of year...
