Thanks sorry i thought I was in the pipe talk section.Moved from the British Pipes sections to Pipe Talk.
Nice I'll be trying this one out this weekend it is my first neerupBeauty! I’m up to 8 Neerup pipes now and love them all
I must say this pipe is heavy but when i clinch the pipe it some how feels very light it balances very well i guess. Also if it continues to smoke this well I believe it will become my favorite pipe.Neerup have nifty metal work bands and stems and finishes. They've always looked a little front loaded to me, and some are a bit heavy for their size, but people who own them seem to love them, almost to a man (or woman).
Love the size and thickness of this pipe, and the metalwork really makes this stand out! Nice pick-upJust came in today. It's actually a larger pipe than I thought. I like it though very nice pipe.

I will have to get back to you on the shellac question I'm not sure. The metal work on it is what really attracted me to the pipe. So far I'm extremely happy with it.It is an attractive pipe and hope it smokes well for you. I have never owned a Neerup but have admired a number of them. They seem to be reasonably priced. Often they seem much too heavy for me as i always look for my pipes to be 2 oz or less. I also wonder about the high gloss finish on many of the pipes. Is it shellac? I really like the metal work on your pipe. Smoke in very good health and spirit...
