My Newest Pipe A Zack Hamric

[cigrmaster]

As many of you know, Zack is a member here at PM and a good friend of mine. When he showed me this pipe at his house the day he made it, I told him it was mine. In my opinion this pipe is as good as any pipe in my collection. The blast, stem work and all around quality is fantastic. It smokes great, cool and dry and of course it is drilled to perfection. If Zack continues to put out work like this it will not be long before his prices are comparable to guys like Rad Davis, Bruce Weaver and the like. Of all the pipes that I have seen him make, this is the best so far, which is of course why I own it. I would have more pics but I did not give him the chance to take more as I grabbed it hours after he made it.

Damn fine pipe. If I lived within a short distance of a pipe maker, I'd be broke.

Hey, I thought you owned Lovat's, what did you do with Harris, is that you Peck. Just kidding, an an owner of one of Zack Hamric's pipes I can attest they are great smokers. Enjoy that one Harris!

 

[cigrmaster]

Thanks guys. Fish, I actually own way more Apples than Lovats( only 3 Lovats). Second to a Dublin, the Apple is probably my next favorite shape.

Another great pipe by Zach. Congratulations cigarmaster nice score.

What a talent. Better not extoll him too much, or he'll get big headed and won't keep innovating. Some of

the most impressive blasts I've seen.

Harris,

I know that you know I was just busting your chops but like you the Dublin and Apple shape, some altered to a degree, make up a large portion of my pipes. Cheers...........

Holy cow that is a fine looking pipe! I wouldn't have any problem putting that beauty on the same rack as my finest artisans. Congrats Harris. Fine job Zack!

Thanks guys! Really appreciate all the encouragement over the past year....It's amazing- I'm actually starting to enjoy classic shapes...
Have a few interesting ones I'll be taking to Nashville in September...
(Harris- and anyone else who happens in the neighborhood- We're definitely having ribs on 19th....)

What? you don't own a camera? One pic of such a nice pipe? Must be nice to be able to watch over the guys shoulder as he makes them and grab it as soon as it done!! :lol: Congrats and beautiful work Zach. Makes me envious and maybe a bit jealous!

That's a great looking pipe. Congrats Harris. Zack was a pleasure to hang with in KC. I can't wait to own one of his pipes soon.

 

[peckinpahhombre]

I can't believe he wasted such a great looking pipe on a peasant like you. I hope he at least hosed you on the price.

Zack does some outstanding Sandblast work I have yet to see one i don't love. Nice Addition Harris and amazing work Zack.

 

[pylorns]

Looking good, especially the stem.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Yeh, I love the transition from the diamond shank to the stem, makes for an elegant look, for that awesome bowl shape. Beautiful work!!

 

[durham270]

That is an excellent looking pipe and the sandblast looks amazing. Congrats!

 

[blueeyedogre]

Another beauty by Zack. Can't wait til you get your website up so us Canknukleheads can have a shot at owning one too.

 

[misterlowercase]

Supersweet pipe!

Congrats!
Even better because y'all are friends and that makes it more special too!

It's amazing- I'm actually starting to enjoy classic shapes...

Zack, great to hear that because I love the trad shapes and you've been making some real beauties!
Your blastwork has been most excellent too.

Thanks MLC...I actually need to get off my butt and update the site- too much time in the shop and not enough time to work on the site...

If I could only have one pipe, I could be happy with that pipe for life. A fine specimen.
