Is This The Amber You Heard About?

Hell yes that’s Clickbait.

There was a discussion about Amber Stems

Here are some of my pipes with huge variety of Amber Stems. I was just going to put a bunch of stems together and photograph them. But, that would entail effort.

So I’m just posting pics of a range of Amber stems

That's an interesting spread.

I had no idea that amber came in so many hues.

I always though of amber as translucent and would not have guessed there to be opaque variants, like pics #1 & #3.

Thanks, Ash.

EDIT: Do they feel a lot different in use or rather similar?

They are all smooth. It’s mainly a visual thing.

I'd watch my back if I were you.
Might be targeted by the Sisterhood for that comment ?

Those are some beautiful pipes and gorgeous amber stems. I've got a single pipe with an amber stem. It's one of the Peterson special editions they released a couple of years back. I'm always careful when I smoke it and luckily i'm not a clencher.

My favourites of all the pipes you showed are these 2:

Thank you.

Well, I have a real problem, because these photos aren’t 10%

Nah, I ship the acrylic to unsuspecting foreigners.

I meant the acrylic a la Alden

LOL.

Well, that’s Cumberland, Amber and Cumberland.

Sweet mother of amber pipe stems! That’s just an incredible array of amber-y goodness. Wow.

Unless you took out a second mortgage to buy all those pipes, and I'm fairly certain you didn't, you don't have a problem. You just have an awful lot of pipes. Enjoy!
