One Year with my J Mouton

[Brewfan]

My first, and to date only, commissioned pipe. After hearing Jason on the Pipes Magazine Radio Show and being intrigued by his inlays, I ordered up and received this little bent pot. It smoked perfectly from day one and for a full year has been my top favorite in my collection.

I got to speak with Jason at the Chicago show and he asked how it was coloring - at that point it really hadn't at all. That question turned out to be the magic words to start the coloring. I can't get a pic to do justice, but the deep caramel after a conservative guess of 150 smokes blows me away. I may put myself back on his commission list so this beauty will have a partner. Pics are day 1 and day 366.

Love that pipe! I’ve looking forward to seeing it! It has darkened to a wonderful hue.

I own several of J's pipes. I have always enjoyed working with him. A true gentleman and great pipe maker!

Handsome pipe. I love how the blast complements the grain.

Mouton does excellent work. My Poker from his Bushido series is a favorite. You certainly have a wonderful piece there as well—his accents with stone/fossil and such are beautiful.

That's a great looking pipe, and it's coloring nicely. May it bring you many more happy smokes.

Beautiful pipe! The next best thing to a clean white Meerschaum, is a virgin briar that colors oh so subtly. Amazing!

Beautiful both new and with the miles on it!
