Got my Preben Holm Ruby Traditional in from pipestud today and I am amazed! His pics didn't do it justice. The finish is great and it only has a little stem oxidation and needed an alcohol cleaning! For a 50-ish year old pipe I am very impressed!
I'm going to break it in with some MacBaren HH Old Dark Fired generously gifted to me by our own Winton!
Oh yeah. the pipe was $40 even including shipping!
Danish style isn't my thing (but tastes change, I may want one some day) - still that is a beauty for sure. Great color and grain - and 50 years old too? Very impressed.
I liked it because it was a "classic" shape, but also had the freehand style. After clenching and holding in my hand, I have to say there was genius behind its creation!
