PAD hit me again, and again, and again!!

Okay guys I thought I would post my newest pipes for you to drool over! I bought both of Unclearthur's Hobbit series pipes and I am going to get them this week! They make quite a pair don't they?

And I got a pipe from Marty Pulvers as well....

I have wanted a horn for a long time and this was the first one that I could afford, good thing I think it is pretty!

 

[unclearthur]

Nice! Shows you have excellent taste ! :lol:

 

[fshu2]

that horn is a beauty

 

[lonestar]

All 3 are great.

I tend to like darker rusticated pipes, and that horn is a shape that I like a lot.

Good job !

Very nice Uncle Arthur pipes!
As for the horn, I agree with Marty when he said

Horns, I think, are very

infrequently sand blasted, the point being to show off Bird's Eye

and cross grain. This is a handsome change of pace.

Very handsome pipe. :clap: I actually really like this pipe over some of the smooth horns I have seen. In fact, I was actually thinking of purchasing the pipe but I decided my girlfriend would castrate me if I spent $60 (which to me is not that much at all for a quality piece of briar, hell even mid-grade Savs and Petes cost more). Anyways, I went with a different pipe set. I still have pipe envy for the record though haha.

I love the treatment on that horn. It's very well done!

Great looking horn. Alphas tend to be very underrated, I have several of them and they're all great smokes.

 

[igloo]

Way to go Bubba .

 

[unclearthur]

I own several Alpha pipes and all smoke very well.

 

[wallbright]

I may be mistaken but I was under the impression that Alphas were made in Israel. Marty had the pipe in the USA section.

 

[unclearthur]

To my knowledge they were produced in the Shalom pipe factory in Israel.

 

[wallbright]

Maybe since he has no Israel sub page he just categorized it by most popular country for that style to come out of or something? Just a thought. Still confusing though lol. Just like he has no Irish page but the Petersons pop up everywhere (he hates Petes btw and sells them for great prices well under market value IMHO). Sorry Jeremiah I didn't mean to hijack the page.

 

[unclearthur]

I watch his site for Petes!

 

[buckeye]

real nice pipes

 

[admin]

Beautiful pipes Bubba! I like all three of them a lot.

 

[papipeguy]

The horn is very cool.

 

[hobie1dog]

You da man of the week :puffpipe:

 

[kcvet67]

Shalom (parent company of Alpha) was taken over by Robert L. Marx of the U.S., that may be why he has it listed that way.

 

[flipflopsandshades]

Wow you really hit a Grand Slam with those beautiful pipes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[unclearthur]

I had forgotten that Shalom did the Marxman pipes . I think that Shalom is now defunct .
