New S Bang

[peckinpahhombre]

The other night on the premier pipe chat forum on the internet ( http://us20.chatzy.com/thebriarpatch ) we were talking about what wonderful pipes S Bangs were. And then last night the stars aligned and I was fortunate to get a great deal on this S Bang Grade A:

I am looking forward to get this one, especially since it weighs in at only 46 ounces.

Maybe you can have a custom spalted pernambuco tripod made to hold it as it's smoked.

 

[peckinpahhombre]

How about an assistant to insert and remove the pipe from his mouth as he smokes?

I have one. An ebay find. She also holds my tamper.

 

[tbradsim1]

Love that Bang Peck, what size tweezers does your assistant hold the Tamper with ?

 

[papipeguy]

A gorgeous pipe. Congrats and happy smoke rings with it.

 

[fnord]

This is not respect, Counselor.
(Solid return fire with the tamper holding eBay find, though.)
These damned Danes are incestuous, internecine and oh, so interesting. Obviously, Mr. Bang won the latest war.
Your new burner is beautiful and I hope it smokes well for you.

454grams in a lb. 16oz. in a lb. 46 oz. pipe = 2.875lbs. NOT a clencher.

 

[antbauers]

I think he meant grams. Even if he didn't I'm sure peck would still be able to clench that.

 

[andystewart]

I'm sure he meant grammes, but it gave me a laugh thinking of peck with a mouth big enough to clench a 2.8lb monster! :rofl:
Lovely pipe peck - I hope she smokes well for you!

Yeah, I meant grams. 46 oz is Cajun territory. Sorry, the assistant distracted me. Thanks guys.

I've always been intrigued by this maker. One of the Philly club regulars seems to smoke nothing by S. Bangs. We have the same SmokinHolsters bag, but his is filled with S. Bangs.... This did allow me to examine some up close, amazing craftsmanship. I'm curious to hear how you find this one smokes and stacks up to your Cookes, etc.

That's a keeper! Peck, you have got to have one of the finest collections of high end pipes in North America. Just about every week you give me a new piece of pipe porn to drool over on here and i love it, sir! Enjoy that one buddy, along with all your other supermodel beauties in the stable. :puffpipe:

What a great looking pipe! I've been thinking about selling a kidney for a down payment on one.

 

[ssjones]

Daniel: is that kidney blasted or a smooth finish?

 

[ravkesef]

Beautiful pipe, Peck--enjoy!

 

[misterlowercase]

Un-fucking-believably just too cool!
Grade A indeed.
Word.
It's a jawdroppa, yo.

 

[daimyo]

Does it get any better than S Bang? I'll never know but I'm glad you will. Congratulations!

 

[yazamitaz]

Great score Peck. Will you smoke this pipe or just put it away?

Here's another that you might consider adding to your collection:

Whoops, too late, it's sold!
