Keep your eyes peeled, that was the second unsmoked one to drop this week on SPC. They may have come from a collection.
I almost pulled the trigger on the other one. Couldn’t believe it hung around for a little bit, enough for me to look at it a few times. Very tempting!
Surprisingly, the one I got was there for over a day.
Too bad you can’t smoke it until the owl bursts from cake buildup…
I never made the one year promise and the owl gets sanded after each 100 smokes. Cake buildup didn't break it. I may never smoke it though.
Beautiful pipe from a great artisan. Was just looking at som Von Erk pipes last night. Next time I am in the Upper Peninsula , I plan on visiting his workshop if he is available.
I don't know... seems a bit small to me.
Great looking pipe, and it's got you all over it for sure. Enjoy!

That is a great pipe, and Lee is a great guy.
I live about 90 minutes from him. Spent a day in his shop as he taught me to shape a new stem for one of my estates. He's been over our house for lunch and loves children -- he regaled my tykes with tale after tale.
And yet I still don't own one of his pipes. Maybe someday.
For those of you unfamiliar with him, check out this documentary:

I would love to see you smoke a meer until it exploded from tobacconite
Tobacconite build up is extremely unstable and dangerous to allow to remain in a pipe. That's why I advocate thorough cleaning after smoking. I once saw an explosion caused by it that killed three clowns and blinded a performing monkey!
I too suffered a near miss, smoking my 9mm without a filter. I’m done playing Russian roulette. So, what I have decided to do is get a reverse calabash commissioned, but with a removable briar back so I can load a full 100 pack of filters in like a tommy gun.
I’m having a cob commissioned but only having the bowl drilled, not the shank. The draw’s gonna be a little tight, but you can never be too safe and a natural filter is preferred.
Great thinking! Use capillary action to set your cadence. Probably need to go to molto dulce exclusively in it though.
I’m not really smoking that much anymore, so I could probably just wring some out into the bowl to get me by on the days where I don’t smoke. Of course, I could do that to “season” the new cob, as well, not unlike the honey or syrup treatment.
