G.L. Pease's Take on Panel Pipes

OK, "Holiday Inn" is a movie with Bing.

I had a basket pipe that looked like that when I was starting out (sans pretty shiny band). Went out on the Oregon coast and tried to imitate a sea captain smoking in a gale. You'd think the rain would have doused it out but, no, the wind whipped up the ember so hot that I had a burn out. I panicked when I saw the flames coming out of the side of a panel and chucked it on to the sand. The next wave either buried it or carried it away; I don't remember. That was the last time I tried smoking outdoors on a windy day.

The pipe itself was gorgeous for a cheapie. I assume it was machine fraized and that Bing's was too.

After a quick search this is labeled as a panel pipe, although when I purchased it I had no idea what a panel is, just liked the look. It is a Neerup 6 sided take on a bent panel. It’s the pipe I’ve smoked for 90% of the time this year, for no other reason than it stands up, easy peasy.

This one still haunts my dreams, and I've posted about it here a few times. This Musico was on my wishlist at sp, and someone bought before I could pull the trigger. I'm still waiting for one of you to fess up and then sell it to me.

Did somebody say Holiday Inn Bing ?
As much as I dislike making smooth pipes, I make some exceptions for this one.
It's a real bitch to get right !

Is this the one that sold on New Years Day 2019? If so it‘s been a wonderful companion, last smoked it 3 days ago.

I just dug around my files until I found pics of a Bing 4 Square ! Not sure if it's the same one or not, but I love that you're keeping that one in rotation !

Man I like that pipe ! Sometimes you mix and match ideas and they just work. Four Square bowl and a round shank with MILITARY MOUNT ! It's like two great tastes that taste great together. I think it's the Military Mount that really makes this work for me.
Good stuff all the way

So are you saying you wanna make one for me?

Well I'm not saying that, but I definitely saved both of those pictures in a folder titled "Pipes I Want To Make"

I call dibs if you get around to it and decide not to keep it!

I never really appreciated the look of panel pipes, but this one could change my mind!

The Savinelli Antica pipes (you've probably seen the ads on this site today) include shape 506, which is their panel billiard.

If it's not tfdickson's, I think I might have that one - I smoke it nearly every weekend. It's a glorious pipe!

A GQ Tobaccos (Parker) with a hand cut stem from Cambridge Pipe Repairs (Geoff Watson).

 

[anotherbob]

you know I agree with him on this they're the only shape I can see the proportions are off by a few millimeters. A billiard that isn't happening with. For me Panel pipes and Bulldogs are in the same boat. A shape I don't really like except when I do I really like it.

I had an inexpensive Jeantet four square that I smoked so feverishly over four decades that it eventually died. (I take better care of my pipes these days.) Here's a four square Castello in sea rock for their 75th Anniversary series. All the pipes in that series were based on Castello's shape 33, a chubby Canadian. This paneled pipe has an oval stem and lacks the elegance of the British/French classic but still qualifies as a four square I think.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

I can appreciate and respect the difficulty of carving one of these shapes correctly. However, I simply don't care for the look. I have never owned one, I suspect I'd enjoy how they fit in your hand. I just don't care for the look.

A beautiful Phoenix, arisen from the ashes. May this pipe bring you comfort and solace, Mr. Pease!

I wouldn't mind panel. But haven't seen Peterson with panel.

 

[ThermionicScott]

I’ve never been drawn to paneled pipes, but there are a few Ropps that keep coming up in my searches, like the J23 paneled Prince. https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/Ropp/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=477708

So, maybe some day?
