My First Commission Arrived!?

[smudgersmissingleg]

The postman just delivered my first ever commission. It's a group 4 Northern Briars Sea Urchin and it's a thing of beauty! I took a couple of pics but my photography skills leave a lot to be desired?. I'm gonna dedicate it to straight Virginias




It's the same finish and silver band as this one that a shop was selling. They photographed it properly.

Reminds me of a tentacle of a sea monster, very interesting!

Enjoy your new pipe!

I should probably dedicate it to NAVY flakes?

I should probably dedicate it to NAVY flakes?

So any flake right ?. Nice pipe!

Very nice. If I’m not mistaken, Fishinbanjo had one similar. It always intrigued me when I saw him smoke it. Enjoy it in the best of health!

My first thought was sort of a pumpkin, octopus. Even has eight tentacles. — it’s definitely unique Smudge,,, or is it Leg. Enjoy that special pipe. What’s going in it for its maiden voyage?

Yup ? it’s one of a kind.

I'll probably wait until I get home after Christmas and smoke some 3 year old Full Virginia Plug in it.

I should probably dedicate it to NAVY flakes

Or perhaps a Cornell & Diehl's Melville at Sea blend.

Nice looking pipe. Congrats.

We need to turn this into a Georgia O'Keefe Calabash.

That's a bad ass pipe,

Nice score, I am sure it will smoke great for you, congrats.

Lovely pipe Chris !

Here's a coincidence, I also received my commission this morning from Northern Briars, a bulldog.
It's so grey here today, I can't get a decent photo.
Wonderful work from Ian as always.

Fantastic! I hope it brings you continued and everlasting joy!

Lots of tactile interest in that pipe. I'd want to hold it between my palms, deep in thought.
