Wherever the boat is moored
Over the years I have acquired several pipes by Tao. A close friend and business partner of Poul Ilsted, Tao's hand made pipes (as opposed to the Svendborg or Tao & Ilsted brands) reflect a unique design sense. Most are small of stature but large of personality witha beefy, chunky quality that emphasized comfort in the hand and a nice utilitarian aspect. More popular in Germany than in the USA, many of his pipes are drilled for 9mm filter (I use a filter insert on those with great results).
I thought I would share mine in order of their acquisition.
