My John Eells and Breyer Bull, The old Cajun

That's a really nice pipe. Reminds me of Ashton's Old Church finish. Did you buy it from the man himself or find it second-hand?

Pitch I bought it on E-bay, I have another larger Blackish reddish rusticated Billard, they smoke excellent and are very light, the darker one is heavier but not by much. The old cajun

Stunning. Everything works perfectly with it. Happy smoke rings.

Nice match between bowl and stem. Where does or did John Eells work? Is the bowl

as big as it looks, Group 5 or bigger?

That is a beauty Brad! I have a John Eells search active on my mobile Ebay account, but missed that one! John is an interesting and important character in the pipe world.

John has the JE Giant Ardor for sale at Richmond, I'm not sure if it was sold or not. It was unsmoked and I believe he was asking $500.

Great looking pipe Bradley, how does it smoke compared to your Rad and better pipes?

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Love that one Bradley. I agree with the comment about it looking like an Ashton old church

 

[oldredbeard]

That's a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.

Harris it's on par with the Rad and the Ardor like the Rad light weight, when I got it the walls were thinner than my pipes that smoke cooler and I said to myself oh shit, but I fired it up with speci brn flake and lo and behold not too hot at all, it was hot but no cake yet and not hot enough to put down, a pleasant surprise. The old cajun. PS Roth I never did television, some documentry people came to my house to film some blankets my Grandmother and father had loomed useing brn cotton just grown for blankets found and old lady who told them the story in French and I did the interpreting, my cavet was that they did not film me, too ugly. The old cajun
