M Parks Estate by way Esteemed BriarBlues

[iamn8]

The Michael Parks Squat Bulldog that I purchased from Mike has just arrived. Even when i'm given specific diminsions and photos of a pipe for sale online, i have a very difficult time getting an accurate image, at least when the photos lack an object which gives perspective. Most often this results in a pipe which is far smaller than i'd imagined. Here this was NOT the case. This is a FAR more substantial piece of briar than i was expecting. Mike wasn't exaggerating when referring to brilliant fit n finish. Its a spectacular pipe!!! I wasn't certain if buying this pipe was a good idea, but now that i have it in hand, i can't imagine not having it. Thanks Mike, as always a true joy to do business with!!!

Next to my Rasmussen for perspective...

Nate, awesome looking pipe. I cannot believe I missed that, I would have bought it. I am sure it will be a great smoker for you, congrats.

Thanks guys! I was actually surprised to come upon it. I've only seen Parks estates a few times and usually for more money. This is the first Parks I've been able to actually hold and photos don't do it justice. It's a really well executed pipe. It almost feels like it's made of glass. Every detail is just so fine. It raises my expectations for my commission.

The Enabler, I like that There should be a villain called The Enabler who goes around encouraging others to partake in whatever vice they have.
