New S Yanik!!! Pre colored beeswax removal.

[Chasing Embers]

Bought a colored lion awhile back. Its a golden color but the inside of the bowl is white.

Now that was a good example of colored wax. Ali does something similar.

That takes half the fun away of smoking then in my opinion. But I like taking new things and making them my own, and well worn looking. The main reason I don't do estates. Like taking credit for someone else's work!

Doesn't bother me much I just like how they feel and smoke. I've whittled down my lot to just a few favorites but a heavily colored estate gets that way by being a good smoker.

Its unsmoked for under $220 including tax so I am happy with it. I just thought it would be interesting to see it all white if it was possible all pictures from ebay seller but I'll post some more detailed when I get it

By the way, that one is truly a piece of art! Absolutely beautiful. Are you going to smoke it?

You never know it would be cool to take it back to white but I am also considering another soon. A commissioned lattice just to have it exactly how I want it. This one was just too good of a price to beat for an unsmoked pipe compared to what they go for. I am a fan of all white for my own preference of coloring but if I smoke it enough it won't make a difference in the long run.

What kind of lattice meer are you looking for? There's quite a few talented meer carvers that do commissions.
