My New Piersel Canadian

How else am I supposed to hide a 5 year olds taco sauce finger prints?

Switch your childrens' daily ration from In a Tub to rice and beans? Much less messy.

I am desperately in love with that pipe. That stem is beautiful. Everything about it makes it a fine pipe indeed.

I fired up the pipe this morning, christening it with 2008 Red Ribbon. The draw is easy and it smokes very well, with nary a hint of hot sauce or kiddie fingerprints. It's even better looking in person and the length is a bit imposing when first encountered. I'm not much of a clencher, but I can clench this one as it's pretty light. Definitely a winner.

"Definitely a winner."
Congratulations to the Piersel children and their "overseer" Ms. Scottie!

I prefer the term "Overlord" :lol:

Anyone know how large she drills the airway? My mind has been stuck on airways, bit thinness, button fatness and flared tails....
PS I really like the dark blue stems she's using now (orange is awesome too).

 

[scotties22]

You could probably ask her directly....it's not like she hasn't commented on this thread about a half dozen times :roll:
I usually drill my airways at 5/32". With this pipe (as well as on all my "Scottie" pipes) I used a 1/8" bit. The chamber is 1/2" at the bottom and a 5/32" hole looks HUGE down at the bottom. There's no noticeable difference in smoking quality between the two.

I was trying to play it cool. Thanks for blowing it!

That's a great looking looong Canadian. One of, if not, my favourite shape. Enjoy. ::

If you're of a mind, take a look through the three galleries she has on her site, "ladybriar.com." You'll see that she's good to do many shapes, and all the pipes would seem to be well-crafted, and at her prices, there are some of the best buys in the business. smokingpipes for example seems to price the work of emerging carvers at $300.00-$400.00.

I LOVE this pipe! I've been smoking in for the past few weeks and it's a TOTAL WINNER!!!!! Effortless draw, no break-in needed, looks great and feels great in the hand.

Pheenie knows her stuff, that's for sure. (I think those tiny fingers give her an advantage when doing detail work)

I have passed all the compliments on to the crew. I was even nice and gave them some decent food for all their hard work......Taco Bueno :lol:

Sable, by the time the smoke makes it through the stem has it aged enough to change the taste? That's a seriously long pipe! Love the color scheme! Nice choices and great pipe making!
