Well, then, you just haven’t been paying attention! (This is the second one since you became a forum member—and it always gets a shout-out on the Pipes Magazine Radio Show.)Happy International Pipe Smoking Day. I’ve never heard of such holiday until last night…
Wonderful acquisition. Great looking pipe!Happy International Pipe Smoking Day. I’ve never heard of such holiday until last night, but it was all the encouragement I needed to part with my money. Here’s a new friend I picked up 30 minutes ago at Schwab’s in Lex, KY View attachment 204165
I’ll have to see if I can capture a good pic to show y’all a detail about this pipe I absolutely love. You can kind of almost see it in the pic above, but the holes on the bowl are actually carved in a type of “latticework,” meaning towards the middle of the bowl there is a separation between the meerschaum that actually makes up the bowl & the meerschaum that has those holes. Then, as it approaches the rim & the bottom, that latticework design gradually tapers back to being one piece with the meerschaum underneath it. It’s my fave feature of this pipe.
Not sure if I did it Justice in that explanation, or if my explanation even makes sense.
Wait until you see one where the lattice is separated from the bowl on one all the way around.I’ll have to see if I can capture a good pic to show y’all a detail about this pipe I absolutely love.

Mine is only connected at the top and bottom of the bowl. It has negative space all the way around.Can be summarized by saying you can run a string in and out of the holes. @Chasing Embers has a photo to illustrate this.
Beautiful.Mine is only connected at the top and bottom of the bowl. It has negative space all the way around.
