Must be this one. It is a stunner:

Now that one really is a burnout,unlike many posted here asking if they are.
A bit of pipe mud should fix it

Drilled out and filled with a briar plug.

3 mortas
A Josef Prammer. If the age of morta is predicated by its mineral content (and hence density) then this is one old piece of wood.Next is a Reiner Thilo -a deeply blasted morta with horn shaft extension



Next a Domagoj Telisman (Dotter Pipes) with black bamboo shank extension

A couple of Tsuge Ikebanas

The most I've ever spent on a pipe would probably be considered a basket pipe to some of you guys. But the most expensive pipe in my collection would probably be this Meer that was gifted to me.

Mike,
That's a real beauty.

If the age of morta is predicated by its mineral content (and hence density) then this is one old piece of wood.

Fun fact: The mineral content is indeed directly connected to age.

The black morta pipemakers use is usually around 8,000 years old and about 10% stone.

Objects that reach 100% mineral content and no longer contain any organic material are even given a special name... we call 'em fossils.

That's something to ponder while sipping on your VaPer while reading a book, innit? When the thing in your hand was living wood, Mammoths and (if it's an extra-old piece) Sabertooth Tigers were walking around.

Maybe one even brushed up against the very peice of morta you're holding.

This is the most I’ve spent on an 8 Day Matching Set. It’s also the only 8 day matching set I own. Ryan Alden is a true talent.

He even made a gorgeous stand.

8 day set is a new idea to me. Is the thinking behind an 8 day set that you smoke 2 on one day? I’ll have to tell my wife. I mentioned to her I was one Ser Jacopo away from a seven day set and she thought I was making something up. She’ll never believe the 8 day is real.
NICE pipes by the way!

The 8 Day Matching Set is because I need 8 days to get everything done.

Actually it started as a 7 Day set, but I got carried away and 8 Day is unique.

@ashdigger : Didn't the 'Almighty' do the whole world 'thing' in seven days or something? Just saying!

Hi Harris,

Is this high end enough for you?

I’ll take one in each color….

That’s probably the prettiest meer I’ve ever seen!
