I received the pipe today. First, it looks better in person and the way the birds eye blasted is captivating. This chamber is wider than my usual pipes and the only one I have that's wider is a KKKK Castello 55. Ryan said it measured at .82. I just finished half a bowl of Chelsea Morning, for break in I smoke 3 half bowls and then let it rip. It smokes cool, dry, and neutral. Its a delight!
Mechanically the mortise is drilled dead center and the draw is wide open. Finally this bit is perfect. It feels like a Becker and I love the bit.
All in all it is a beautiful pipe that smokes perfectly at a very reasonable price. Everyone should have one.

Elegant pipe and highly functional. Everyone won here.

Nice job, well done, Sir.

Ok.... I have now finished my 5th bowl in this pipe. I have smoked Chelsea Morning, ODF, 5100, Quiet Nights, and McCrains Red Ribbon in it. It smokes them all wonderfully.
I really need to recommend Ryan's pipes to anyone looking to spend 300.00- 400.00 for a pipe. This pipe kicks ass.

Congrats Jefff! That's a gorgeous piece! You made the right decision in commissioning a pipe from Ryan. I love mine.

A while ago I decided to keep only one pipe per maker.
This pipe will make me break that vow.

Glad you are enjoying the new pipe Jefff !

The first pipe I drilled for Jeff had a small pit in the chamber, about 1/4 of the way down from the top. That pipe turned into a Prince I just finished up. Here's some pics of that one

 

[jefff]

Wow.... Thats lovely... is that spalted maple?

 

[lonestar]

Yep !

 

[jefff]

Nice choice.

 

[scrooge]

WOW Is the right word.

 

[jefff]

They smoke as good as ANYTHING I have ever smoked.
And more neutral than most.
