He's going to have to rough you up again, isn't he? Thought you understood after last time - NO CREDIT!
The object of my earlier schmielbloch....an hour early for the IPSD sale but still in for the theme. I own two other Yeti's.....but they are somewhat off-the-usual for the maker. Lot of respect for Micah's skills but not usually a guy I chase.....but I saw this and in my minds eye it's exactly what I would picture for a Yeti. Kinda Danish, contrast stain, bakelite stem, brass accent....not my usual but to me an attractive piece (the stem here is more red in the pic with sunlight right on than in standard light).
I like to have at least one...to me...'prototypical style' piece for a carver. Give this fellow a whirl with some WC DCC this weekend.
Thanks ofafeather. I'm pretty happy with it in-person, I expect it to be an A+ smoker but will give it a whirl and prove out. I went through my four stages of pipe buying on this for sure:
7pm
"Mmm...good carver, not my style though".
8:30pm
"Not my style, but interesting"
10pm
"You know, maybe if that pipe hangs around for a while I'll have to think about it"
3:30am
*wake up* "I'ma' buy that damn pipe right now"

Got my first Castello from the SP.EU site. Pretty much the definition of entry level, a KK Sea Rock, but Ive been wanting a Sea Rock and dig the shape. Now Castello will be off my list of makers to try! Below that is the craggedy-assed Ashton Pebble Grain I bought as an early IPSD present (my way of saying I paid full price rather than wait 10 days), that is currently somewhere in the USPS system.
As with my previous experiences, ordering from SP.EU is a great experience.

I like the way he uses plateau. It has kind of a fine, but very sharp look to the little teeth. I first noticed it on one that was.put up on SP recently, but yours is a very fine example. Great stem, too.
That's gonna require a new pouch! ?
Your stem should be washable. I did the water thing on my pipe and the stem cracked.
Looks like beech isn't as hydrophilic as briar. ?
Enjoy your Castello! I need to buy one some day!Got my first Castello from the SP.EU site. Pretty much the definition of entry level, a KK Sea Rock, but Ive been wanting a Sea Rock and dig the shape.

I got 2 lbs of H&H Louisiana Red and 14 free Drew Estate cigars. Tru Chad
You smoking cigars? Did hell froze over?
I realized the hell freezing over is a real possibility with the amount of snow we are getting all over the world!
I plan to store them in my trash can
If you really don’t want to get the joy of cigars - Break them up and smoke in a pipe!
Hopefully good I bought 2 lbs! ?
I will try a few at least. I can’t say no to free!!
On the Auenland?That's gonna require a new pouch! ?
