My S African Garbe

[tbradsim1]

This Garbe was in box with the Joura, I love the lines of this pipe, fits hand perfectly, wonderful smoker.

It appears to be a monster. Beautiful birds eye.

Big , nice pipe. Love the style and grain. Congrats Bradley. Hope it makes a good smoker for you.

Congratulations on your new pipe. An excellent early Christmas present.

That is one handsome hunk of briar!
Ingo Garbe, by the way, is a German pipe maker. I know he doesn't make a bunch of pipes but the ones he creates are reportedly awesome. At the West Coast Pipe Show in Vegas back in November there were a couple of pipes at somebody's table (I forget who), and he told me Garbe is now living in Denmark. So, he has no ties to South Africa as far as I can determine.
Again, great looking wood!

Beautiful pipe! I'm hoping to find one or two monster size pipes for sitting by the camp fire this summer.

Pipestud the reference to S Africa was I bought them from a Gentleman in S Africa, thank you all for the kind remarks.

Beautiful pipe! Although I thought I was going to see a picture of you in "South African garb" when I clicked on the link... :wink:

Nice one, Bradley!

Bradley, I need more pics. From what I can tell, there is some serious birdseye on that pipe and I really do need to see it. It looks like a beauty. How does it smoke in comparison to some of your other artisan pipes? Dry as a bone? Cool and flavorful? Details, I need details. lol

Out of all the members here, I look forward to Brad's estate sale the most Not only do all his pipes function as smoking works of art, they can double as viable home defense weapons.

That's a beauty, Bradly. Looks like I'd only need to smoke one bowl a day in a pipe that big. Enjoy!
