New S Yanik Freehand Meerschaum "Manta"

[shanez]

I had been eyeing this one for some time and after receiving it I don't know why I waited so long. This is a substantial, honking even, piece of meer artistry. Hand flat just the meer portion runs from the heel of my palm to my fingertips. Plus it's a really cool almost art nouveau shape.





It has a, for me, cavernous chamber I can pretty much fit my entire thumb in!



Breaking it in with some GH&C American Cherry Vanilla and a glass of Dos Maderas 5+5 rum.



Keep it smokey and salud!

A big beauty! Love the prey coloring work. Looks like the perfect pipe to lounge with and have a nice, really long smoke with.

That's beautiful, but HUGE.
Are we going to see a clenching contest with Embers for "The Jaws of Steel" title anytime soon ? ?

Yeah that's a big pipe there! And a beautiful piece of art! Glad to see it's not a shelf queen! Smoke the hell out of it!

Gorgeous! Yanik has his own aesthetic with abstract pipes, and like the originator, Ismet Bekler, his are IDable on sight.

Reminds me of coral for some reason, nice pipe.
