In Praise of Bones

[railman]

I have five, all of them smoke great. Great work pipes, no anxiety about accidentally dinging or scratching them, and if I did ever happen to lose one it would be less of a financial heartbreak (though I’d sure miss the pipe!). Also a good option for beginners wanting to try out pipe smoking or to build up a pipe rotation.

thanks for the heads up. It's important to have a pipe you can take fishing and not cry if it falls into the lake. Also from what it sounds like their not cheap because their cheaply made, they seem designed to be able to sell in volume. You know less profit per pipe but more pipes sold equals more money.

@anotherbob There's enough profit in them if you know bulk prices.
Cheers,

I only own the one short poker. It's my dedicated office pipe: it sits on my workdesk and is a trusty companion for my everyday after lunch smoking breaks.
They are also cheap because the briar they use is full of blemishes (no fillings though, which I prefer). I don't really think Bones look good, and I do believe that they are just a tad too expensive for what they are... But I like 'em. If my one Bones ever burns out or gets lost, I will buy another one.

once I had a-no name brand new French-made rusticated Virgine pot, super lightweight, and it smoked wonderfully, this very article brought it back to my mind, and as a result, I do regret why on earth I did sell it for such a little money, moreover I'm not getting them anymore since it was the vendors short run line offered by Pipe.fr

These are great pipes, and chris morgans customer service is thee best in the industry imo! He has no problem answering any questions or just shooting the poop.

I have several Bones pipes and enjoy them greatly.
To me, their "defects", which are merely cosmetic, are part of their charm and they smoke fine.
For their price, they are outstanding value.
Chris's customer service is outstanding as well.

I have one and it smokes good. Nice little pipe for the money but briar does not get much loving in my house...

 

[radrick96]

Just got one of his Bones pipes for my first briar. Impressed with the bowl size! Gonna go smoke now...

I am a fan. I have three currently and will probably get a few more when shapes become available.
I have:
Oom Paul
Short Churchwarden
Bent Dublin

That's another kind of fun aspect to buying Boneses. The shapes change pretty regularly, but at the price point, it's not prohibitive to buy a new shape you fancy. I'd looooove to have a Belge, but I missed the boat on that shape.

The Belge is available on his site at the moment.
