[cortezattic]

Beautiful pipe! :clap:

Now, you just gotta try this blend...

I'd agree to it being a Servi, and it's very well-carved.

It is indeed a Servi, Jonas. It arrived today and the name was much easier to make out in person.

MeerschaumMarket has some nice pipes. Enjoy the heck out of it!

:mrgreen: You used my catchphrase! And I am indeed enjoying the heck out of it. In fact I'm about to load it up with some John Aylesbury's Dragon Flake :: I'm loving it!

That is a nice pipe, and Servi is an excellent carver. I do agree with your statement that many lions do look cartoonish or just don't look right. In my opinion Tekin carves the best looking lion. I have a Tekin Lion in Claw and its a fantastic pipe. Here is one that's very similar to mine currently on Meerschaum Market's website.

That Tekin is one of three I was looking at, Metalhead. And it is a fantastic looking pipe. The overall look of the lion and claw together in the Servi won me over though.

I do agree with your statement that many lions do look cartoonish or just don't look right.

And wolves... I've been wanting a good wolf meer for some time, but I have yet to find one that doesn't look either like a German Shepherd or just a generic dog shape.

It's been getting a lot of use, Texasfiremdedic, and is coloring nicely. I'll try to get some photos posted soon.

Nice. Yeah, we need colouring picks.

Anthony, I'm extremely picky about meerschaum claws and lions, two favorite expressions of mine. I would bet that many users here could point out pipes of these motifs on various meerschaum sites and I would not like them. Calling me picky is really an understatement. I also do not generally like these "reverse claws" at all. I LOVE this pipe. I would use the term 'faultless.' Congrats on the purchase, and I hope you, too, find it stunning (not to mention a great smoker).

Thanks, Jonas. Indeed I do find it stunning. And it is a great smoker. It is certainly among my favorites :D
