Mark Tinsky 2013 Christmas Pipe

[eaglerico]

I have had this pipe for a while now. I just haven't got around to taking pictures. A while back I posted how I was wanting to find a 2012 Pipe of the Year. I settled on this pipe and could not be happier with it. Smoke great. Almost an Oom Paul shape. I like how the bowl is almost below my nose so I get a better sense of the smell with out my nose being warm. I tried and can't stand nosewarmers.

Beautiful pipe, great addition to any collection no doubt.

The double band effect in different wood finishes sets off that high capacity bowl. I

admire a carver who can bring elements together as if they grew that way, as this one certainly

does. Of course, this is Tinsky. That pipe puts you in the mood for a smoke, and deep thought.

I never owned a Mark Tinsky pipe. However, I have always read that they are a great value for price. Really beautiful pipe. I am partial to half bents.

Congrats on your new pipe, and thanks for posting the pictures.

I think it was Harris who conjectured than Rad Davis does the sandblasting for Tinsky. I dunno, but I think he's right.

Anyhow, beautiful pipe. :clap:

I was looking at a Tinsky Rhodesian this week at a VA shop, he cuts that shape quite well. Very reminiscent of the GBD9438 that I love.

That looks like a great clencher, I like the shape.

The incredible richness of the blasting makes you want to 'eat' this pipe. I don't know if it is the photography or what.
What is the length of this pipe? It looks like not more than 5 inches. Weight?
REally beautiful!
Good luck with it.

Very nice! I do like his style. Looks like it is a Christmas 2012 pipe.
Happy puffing.

Lol. Yes it is 2012. Not quite Christmas yet.
Thanks all for the nurse comments.

Its getting very difficult to concentrate on building my tobacco cellar with all these beautiful pipes being posted here.
Congrats on the beautiful Tinsky. Hope you have many awesome smokes out of it.
