New Remington Pipe

[foggymountain]

Just arrived, and it smokes very well. Thanks to the guy who photographed the Chicago show. I spotted it in a photo of the show and tracked it to Quality Briar, who had it here in two days.

Love the shape on that one! Is that a bakelite stem?

 

[foggymountain]

Yes. Bakelite sounds awful, but it is OK.

I think I took the picture to which you referred. I remember this pipe and it's a beauty. Enjoy!
Adam Remington is yet another great young pipe maker from the Nashville area.

Foggy,

Bakelite is great stuff- the best stuff is old stock from the 50's and costs about triple what the best ebonite costs...and is supposedly a royal pain to work with...but it looks sooo good!

 

[foggymountain]

Thanks Bigvan.

Foggy, that is one beautiful hunk of briar! I love the stem too! Being from Tennessee, it's nice to see some southern-fried pipes in your neck of the woods. I hope it serves you well for many years.

Congrats foggy - that's a very nice looking pipe.

Wow, nice pipe, foggy! I guess, I just bought it's Japanese sister...
Can you say, in how far the mouthfeel of an Bakelite stem differs to Ebonite? And: Are those stems slightly thicker?
