My first Bruce Weaver

[cigrmaster]

I have been looking at Bruce's work since I began my American artisan collecting and was excited to be able to purchase this estate piece. I bought it from Mike at Briar Blues who has sold me 4 pipes in the last few months. He is a great guy, has tons of great pipes and has very competitive pricing. This pipe is a solid group 5 and weighs in at 54 grams.

The ring grain on the blast is outstanding, nice pick.

Congratulations Harris on your new pipe
I learned about Bruce after seeing an ad in the NASPC publication that is sent to members every other month.
Pipes sell fast on his site. I hope you enjoy your pipe for many years.
Thanks for mentioning Briar Blues. I will look closely on their site to see what they have to offer in the different country links provided.

I love the shape of the shank, Cajuns build great boats and we have an eye for what flows, that my friend Harris is a beauty ready to jump to a smoke cloud, beautiful. The old cajun

Another beautiful addition to your collection. Enjoy.

 

[cigrmaster]

Thanks for the nice comments guys, it is appreciated.
Bradley, that shank caught my eye as well, I don't have any pipes quite like it,
I will definitely report on how it smokes, from what I have heard Mr Weaver makes some great smokers.
nsfisher, I don't really have a quota so to speak. I have been moving a bunch of pipes out to make room for the new ones.

Nice looking grain on that one. Congratz! You are definitely spot on with Mike at Briar Blues. Great guy to deal with.

 

[cajundad]

Wow , I love the way the grain wraps the bowl , that birds eye on the rim , and that beautiful shank . If it smokes like it looks , epic score .

 

[cigrmaster]

Thanks guys.
Sam, it is kind of similar to that Sav.

Harris my man, you have great taste in pipes - that's a beaut!

 

[cigrmaster]

Thanks six, it really stood out among the other pipes on the page I was looking at.

 

[topd]

Absolutely Gorgeous! Consider yourself envied on that one...

 

[cigrmaster]

Thanks Top.
The Weaver came in today and I am just finishing a bowl of Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake and the pipe performed flawlessly. It smoked cool and dry and the blend tasted awesome. The pipe is a pleasure to clench and I am extremely happy with this one. The ring grain is really spectacular in that it goes all the way around the bowl and is incredibly even. I am sure this will not be my last Bruce Weaver pipe.
