From France With Love

[Ryszard]

This beauty just arrived from France by courtesy of Bruno Nuttens Pipes and I am absolutely in love!
Usually, I am not much a fan of rustication but the rugged look paired with the elegant horn mouthpiece works really well for me. ?

I like it. While I usually prefer blasts, (I like to see the expression of the wood) this nice chunky and bold work appeals to me. Enjoy!

That's sweet!

I just ordered one of his Bings:

Is Bruno Nuttens the brand? I like the heavy rustication, and the horn stem, but I might have paired that glorious texture briar with tortoise shell for the stem. Nice pipe.

Yeah, he's the pipe maker/artisan.
You're right, tortoise would've looked great too if not better.
But then again I love tortoise and have far too many tortoise pipes as it is.

Very nice pipe. Thanks for sharing. Checked out his site. Nice stuff and very reasonably priced for hand made. I will keep my eye out for a long Cutty or Zulu of his. Those look really cool.

PS: thanks enabler! ?

The prices are very reasonable indeed and he's a great person to deal with. Won't be my last pipe from him - also eyeing one of those Cuttys.
