I would surely be collecting her pipes.

That site, by the way, is great pipe porn. Video clips and all.

Wow she has some great looking pipes! One would be very lucky to own one!

$1400 could buy every pipe I have (including the 3- and 4-pin estates if they were new), plus all the tobacco I have ever bought. But you're right, those are nice looking pipes. I'd just have to be pretty rich not to feel the pinch.

Fantastic work!

 

[ohin3]

that bulldog with the blue stem makes me weak.

 

[papipeguy]

Yep, the bulldog is a beauty. I'd be proud to own it.

It is very pretty... but it's not perfect.

There is a glaring boo-boo that jumped right out at me.

Does anyone else see the mistake he made when carving this pipe?

It can clearly be seen in the first photo.

The only problem I have with HER pipe....
...is that it's not mine.

The sanding F up on the bevel? I've never really gotten her work. That dragonfly is IMO pretty cheesy, an inlay would have been a much nicer coverup(?). 8O

still nice looking stuff

If you REALLY want to go overboard, check this one out. It's been offered several times in the past year or two. At least it has free shipping.

Maybe if I got a nice young duchess with the pipe. Otherwise naw!

 

[james]

I think the free shipping is the selling point but it cost more than my car did...

 

[ohin3]

I don't really think of a pipe as perfect or not, I think of weather or not I am drawn to it and find it attractive. that pipe makes me weak I tell you. She has a great sense of style and a very good eye.

 

[hobie1dog]

Now that's one BIG-ASS pipe

 

[expatpipe]

I just don't get the thinking process behind spending that much money on a pipe with no idea on how it smokes, other than the sellers note. Where would you go for smoker reviews of her pipes? You could ask on every pipe forum on the net and be lucky if you found one person who owns (and smokes) one. Very nice looking pipes, beautiful, but thats a lot of money to gamble without knowing any odds.
