I think this pipe is unique, lovely, with fantastic organic flow.

As soon as I saw it, I was filled with pipe lust. :twisted: I know freehands aren't everyone's cup 'o tea, but they are my true love for a pipe shape.
Its on the way from Smokingpipes.com

WOW! That is an amazing looking pipe...probably the most unusual one I've seen yet. Congrats on that pickup...enjoy!
@jonahtke: "eye of Sauron"...yes, exactly.

That is beautiful in a Lord of the Rings way. I'm very jealous! Let us know if you start referring to it as "My Precious"...

Saw that earlier on SP. Not normally my cup of tea but I think it has a cool kind of futuristic look to it. Please post pics of it from other sides so we can get the whole effect. Congrats!

It is fantastic!
Reminds me very much to a lion fish, in shape and personality. It will be as outstanding among your pipes as a lionfish in an aquarium.

Bad news gentlemen. :crying:
I got an email this morning from Smokingpipes. The pipe was sold to someone else a little quicker than I was.
Dang it. So close and yet so far away.
It was listed at $130+ plus a bit....I don't remember exactly now. $138, I think.
In my happiness with the purchase I prematurely posted that it was mine....alas, 'twas not to be. :crying:
Dang it.
I was so looking forward to holding it. I wondered how it might feel in the hand. With all those bumps, smooth panels and dremeled areas to explore I dreamed my hand would never get tired of holding it, my fingers exploring every face and feature.
Dang it.
I'm disappointed, but its time to press on with the hunt for the next pipe I can't live without.
BTW, if you're the lucky bastige that beat me to the punch...I hope this pipe is the stuff of dreams.
:crying:

Very sorry to hear that mlaug...but perhaps it's for the best...you never know what fate may have awaited you had it come into your possession:

WOW!
Sad to hear this was swiped from you.
But at under $150 that pipe is a steal to me. Just a quick glance at it and I'd put it at a $300 pipe easy.
Damn that thing is sexy.
