Last Addition For The Foreseeable Future - Talbert Goblin Morta

[sablebrush52]

Some makers and styles of pipes have long intrigued me. With this strange little pipe I got to combine three of these elements: morta, Trever Talbert, and goblins.
There are a few areas I would like to explore further, but there's no urgency anymore. I realize that it's time to take a break from adding to the collection and that it's time to prune it down.
So for now, this is it. (Until it isn't...)

As it always will be! Nice looking pipe!

I like that ! Cool shape!

I like that ! Cool shape!

Thank you, sir! Hopefully it will smoke as magically as it looks.

Beautiful piece, simplicity and loads of style. You didn't really say that about this being

all for now, did you? Don't we all say that every time we buy a pipe? Has it ever been true?

Just show us the pipe, and we'll all know that's what you're saying, for at least 12 hours, in

rare instances a week. I just bought a pipe, and guess what? No, I won't say it.

Those Talbert pipes are always something to behold! I don't recall ever seeing a morta Goblin, but then again I don't really keep up.

That's an amazing pipe, I hope it smokes great for you!

That's not a cool shape, that is a REALLY cool shape. Let me know when you start pruning!

No, I actually do mean it. You're right, I've said it before and my friends like to kid me about that, but I have other uses for the money right now that trump pipes. In the past I've gone 3-4 months without buying anything, because I have some very good pipes and wasn't seeing anything that was a sort of "goal" kind of pipe, much like Dunhill birth year pipes are for many collectors.
This past year, however, I just fell into some deals in rapid succession that brought me a number of those "goal" pipes to add to my collection, pipes for which I've looked for years to acquire. I've spent some pretty good coin on those pipes.
I've also had the growing feeling that it's time to shrink and shape what I've collected. There are pipes that I just don't use very often, or at all. After I've sold off a number of pipes I may buy a pipe or three, or maybe not. There's nothing out there for which I'm pining.

I love your pipe, it's not my style but I can say it's such a flowing piece. Lovely thing.

 

[pitchfork]

Careful you don't scare the kiddies!
Very striking shape. Congrats.

Pipe: I'm a believer!
No more PAD: I'm a skeptic!

Looks great! Please let us know show she smokes!

 

[kcghost]

Sooner or later I will get a morta pipe.

 

[blazze]

Let us know how she treats you. I thoroughly enjoy my morta pipes from another maker and have been eyeing up Talbert's pieces for some time now. Not that I need any more PAD excuses...

 

[grouchydog]

Wow - very cool! If Sauron smoked a pipe, that would be the one.

 

[peckinpahhombre]

I don't believe this is your last either, but if it is, you sure went out with a bang.

 

[flmason]

Congratulations on your new pipe. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come.
My last pipe also came in the mail today so I know the feeling. I also do not see myself adding any more to my collection either.

I like your strategy Jesse. Why not branch out a little and try something different? Life is too short to leave a stone unturned. I'm curious to hear your comments on the smoking attributes of the morta.
