Looks good man. I was eyeballing some Neerups last week, but instead decided to go with a Brigham. I've heard good things about Neerup, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Used to have two myself, Peder does good work.?
Nice looking score. I have a Neerup “Basic” freehandish style and it smokes great when I am able to have an extra long smoke. I’m a sucker for coloured acrylic stems too.
The colored stem was a big selling point for me too!
This is actually my first new pipe in about five years. Up until now I have been putting all my money into getting my cellar in order. The cellar is not complete, but it's pretty close.
There is a pipe maker I noticed on SP.com called Askwith who makes cool coloured stems out of nylon. I was thinking about saving up for one of them or asking him to make me a commissioned pipe with something crazy. Curious about what a nylon stem is like.
Softer and more prone to teeth marks than vulcanite. Doesn't oxidize though.
Acrylic is harder than both. The nylon is easier to damage than vulcanite. I tend to steer clear of acrylic unless I'm not buying a clencher.

Another option is bakelite. Available in many colors and falls between acrylic and vulcanite. I love that stuff.

Hmm... I may rethink that then, one of the reasons I prefer acrylic is the fact that I can clench without any worry about putting chatter in the stem.
I like the coloured vulcanite stems you've posted above, but other than Dunhill Cumberland, I'm not sure I've seen those other colours anywhere before.
I've heard of it, but I don't know if I've ever seen it. Isn't that what the baccy flaps were made of?
Yeah those original baccyflaps are bakelite. I think its a type of proto-plastic. I've seen pipes with bakelite stems for sale on SP.com but they have all been quite expensive.
Matching tamper. That is a Christmas pipe Bruce Weaver made for me in early 2016. Bakelite and ivory stem with a matching tamper with my initials on it's foot. Funny story goes with that one.?
Almost Time! :: Pipe Talk
Each day this week I have been smoking My Bruce Weaver pipes in the order of acquisition, anticipating Sunday when I can finally burn my first bowl in my sandblasted egg that I commissioned and received back in May. Soooooo close! 8O

Merry Christmas And Triple Dog Dare Met! :: Pipe Talk
Here it is, the Weaver Christmas Egg is unsmoked no more! Burning 2016 Christmas Cheer in it, and right at its first bowl its smoking like a champ! Perfect open draw, and thus far no gurgle. The Christmas Cheer is plenty sweet and grassy with a bit of spice in the background, and I can only...

A very cool pipe and tamper.
Just nice to see a little something extra on some pipes. I like black just fine but on darker pipes its a welcomed accent. Wish more pipe makers would do it. Seems like a simple way to give an otherwise ordinary pipe a little eye appeal.
