New Pipe From Forum Maker shikano53

[Country Bladesmith]

Hey, that’s a beaut! I love it. Nice work, and nice purchase.

I can see all but the last pic using that link.

That's bizarre. I'm having the same issue where almost none of the images load, and on that link the only image I can see is the last one.

All but the last photo on mine.

This is bizarre - I gotta get this fixed. I'll try contacting tech support yet again.
Thanks guys for pointing this out to me.

I would think that what he does in his private time is none of our business.

You guys kill me
Now that I had my laugh for the morning, I can face a few stressful hours in the office.

For whatever it's worth, this is what shows on the link where I can only see the last image.

I was reading a thread on the forum and found shikano53 was a pipe maker and had his own website. I decided to check it out, I mean who doesn't like to look at pipes... even though I was not in the market for a new pipe (hahaha.)

Well... PAD kicks in hard. He had a nice bent dublin with a cumberland-esq. stem and the price was right! A week and a half later, I received the beauty.

Upon opening the box, I was impressed with the quality of the pipe not to mention the beauty of the lines. It's not top quality straight grain wood, but it wasn't priced like that either. I think the briar quality exceeds what I paid for pipe.

But the big question, it is a pipe after all - How does it smoke? Well, I only have two bowls through it so far. but. Let's just say I am planning a commissioned pipe in the next month or so!

My limited smoking with this pipe has been exceptional. It smokes very dry ad very easy - in fact it smokes as easy as my MM cobs but dryer. It's effortless and beuatiful to boot!

I anticipate many more years of great smoked with this pipe!

Very nice looking pipe Sir

That’s a fantastic looking pipe! Glad to hear that it smokes as good as it looks! Congrats!

I think I fixed it. It works fine on Firefox and Edge. Microsoft Explorer won't let me preview the page unless I make Bing my default search and I can't close that window other than by opening Task Manager and shutting it down.
Another reason I passionately hate Microsoft.

He does a nice job and has a web site to support it. Good Job!!

Great work and fine website. I had to click on blank "picture" to get to the photos and well outlined specs. This one, though, does not show that: Problem with this one.

Sorry, it's just not working right on some of the Available pipes. Tried on both Safari and Chrome. I always try to use a "clean" browser to check my work as sometimes images are linked to the desktop.

 

[jpmcwjr]

I'll be damned! I just tried it in Firefox and it works just fine!! Hope this info is useful to you and your web guy!

 

[shikano53]

jp, awesome!

 

[shikano53]

jp, I'm my web guy! I do all my own web design and work

 

[shikano53]

Ah, bookmarked - thanks (and thanks to CoffeeAndBourbon too, may it smoke well). All prices in CND, didn't realise you were up in the (not so) frozen north.

I'll definitely be in contact in the future. The OP's bent dublin and the billiards look lovely. Best of luck with the B&M.

Hi Mtl, I'm in Red Deer, Alberta.

 

[cshubhra]

Nice pipe. Congratulations to both of you ?

Hi Mtl, I'm in Red Deer, Alberta.

Please put your location in your Profile, as people are forgetful.
Why:
That will save questions in the future as to where you live when you later mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc. In many instances that saves time for those who read your posts.
How:
Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down. Whatever you're comfortable with- town, city, county, state. Just country if you must.
