New Meerschaum Cutty Pipes

[condorlover1]

This really isn't an advertisement since the chap supplies meerschaum pipes to Pipes & Cigars (P&C) who prominently support this forum as well as selling War Horse for SToP so I don't think I am breaking any rules here. Anyway last winter I had Ramazan the owner of Meerschaum Depot over to my house as he wanted to view my meerschaum 'cutty' collection and borrow a few styles to have copies made since no one makes a true 'cutty' in the 19th century clay pipe style. The result was an excellent pipe that was sent down to Weezel to 'crash test' to destruction and I think he has posted a few pictures over the last six months of it coloring progress. I received back my original pipes yesterday along with some copies of the 'clones' and I am impressed. They run $175 a pipe and they are on Ebay and his web site and certainly cheaper than buying an old model. These ones even come with hard wood cases so for any of you that want the definitive 'Condor Lover' look have at it and see if it tickles your fancy!!!

Simon, the one I have been abusing is a wonderful pipe and a great investment for anyone that would want one!

With a few bowls...

Now...

Good draw, cool smoking. Can not go wrong... The "weez"

 

[weezell]

And Thank you Simon for the opportunity to abuse said pipe!! :D

Your most welcome Dave - what would I do if I didn't have access to the Weezel Proving Grounds!

I love the meer cutty. my only cuttys are clay and something that looks between clay and meer

 

[condorlover1]

These were done with the hard core 'cutty' fanatics in mind - trouble is I think the market extends only to me and Dave although a couple of guys have asked me about them so hence the post. If I can get my photo *ucket to work I will post some of the pictures Ramazan sent me.

 

[weezell]

Simon, I've always used Imgur with no hassle(even for me). I'd take a look at that...

Also, how do you get on Ramazans web site?I tried but could not find it. Is there a link you could post?..

This is how to add photos to your post using the site's photo album:
Images tend to be smaller than hosting site's size, but can be full sized if you remove the pixel limitation, ( -600x360) or whatever numbers are at the end— the numbers and the dash preceding, leaving no spaces, and ending in .jpg
1.) Login

2.) Go to My Account (may have hit Home button first) and mouse down to Album.

3.) Choose Upload Picture (navigate to photo you've given a sensible name to), be sure to then hit Upload.

4.) Go back to Album, click on thumbnail to open full size image. Right click (Windows); Control Click (Mac) and select "copy image location" (its URL).

5.) Return to your reply window in the thread and click on the IMG button at the top of the compose window.

7.) Paste the image location into the window and click OK. (You can paste over the existing http://)
An example, of a thumbnail named "hms-penzance-1940" followed by -150x100.jpg is the name of the photo in my album, and the the -150x100 limits the size.

If I remove the numbers, it goes to whatever size at which it was uploaded, subject to web sized image limitations.

Thats very helpful but I don't have any ship pictures to post!

Dave I emailed you this but on Ebay he is 'pipes depot' and here is one of his auctions referencing one of the pipes from my collection he copied

That should lead you back to his web site and then from their you should be able to order through P&C I would think as they carry all of Meerschaum Depot's pipes to the best of my knowledge. The last time I visited with our friends at P&C they seemed to have quite a selection of meerschaum pipes from Ramazan knocking about the warehouse.

Here's one photo of that pipe.

Grabbed one. Awaiting with interest. Seems somehow proper to devote it to Condor.

Weezell, is that gap twixt stem and shank meant to be there....perhaps to let more air into the smoke flow 8O
Regards,
Jay.

 

[weezell]

Jay, no it is not. This was a prototype that was made as a copy of one of Simon's meers. It was damaged and had to be modified and left that small gap. The problem has been rectified in current production now. I plan on buying one of the pipes that are now available at P & C to further abuse. Nice,Nice pipes... :D

 

[condorlover1]

Here is another one copied from one of my pipes although I am not so sure about the decoration 'thing' it still looks quite functional
