The 999 shape is the one that I've always associated with a busy smoker. You're right, I think it clenches well. I'd love to try it in the Celtic series as well.

Very beautiful pipe. What a great shape. Looks like a nice clencher. Enjoy!

 

[ssjones]

Oh yeah, that is a keeper! Good choice on the Royal. Those deep rings look very nice!

Very nice pipe.

That is a beaut. Good score, smoke it with joy.

Thanks. I took it my travels this week. Smoked very well, but gurgles a bit loaded with escudo. I'm hoping it's just the break-in. Had about 1/2 dozen bowls in it now.i'm gonna load it with something different this weekend and see what happens. Then I'll clean it real well and let it rest next week.

Very nice pipe! I'm sure you will enjoy many a fine smoke from it!

 

[mluyckx]

Thanks. It didn't gurgle as much with a straight VA in it. It's a nice smoker. Not the best in my rotation, but definitely not the worst.

That is a nice pipe. The shape feels good in the hand too. That style is next on my PAD list.

The bulldog bowl reminds me of a Savinelli in my collection, but the silverwork and amber stem put it miles ahead of anything I own. A wonderful pipe! Thanks for the pics.

That'll be nice pipe for driving and smoking.

Excellent Rosslare Royal Irish! My first real pipe was a Peterson Rosslare Royal Irish Sandblast 05. I love it. Hell, I love all of my Petersons.
