That Bat Fish is amazing - my jaw just hit the desk!
I'm in lust for a Bat Fish.

Banjo, great pipes! I've long admired Holger's work, particularly his very well done stems, and attention to detail!

Fish all Super, but that Bat Fish is ,is,is, there ain't no words Fish :clap:

+1000 on the Bat Fish

That bat fish is such an awesome pipe. I hope you enjoy it and happy smoking!

 

[antbauers]

That Holger is very nice also. I love that there's nothing between the bamboo and the shank of the briar. Very nice transition.

What does the acronym PAD stand for?

 

[papipeguy]

jack, PAD= Pipe Acquisition Disorder. Many, if not all, of us are afflicted with it.

 

[antbauers]

PAD - it sounds like a joke, but it's for real. Many wallets and wives can attest to this.

 

[jackswilling]

Apparently I have it, did not know there was a name for my problem.

Thanks for clearing this up for me.

All beautiful pipes, and the bat fish is an extravaganza for sure, but the bamboo pipe really strums my heart strings, done just right.

 

[menuhin]

PAD with extraordinary taste :clap:

Banjo, eye-opening pipes again, especially the Bat Fish.

Banjo, that Holger is amazing, love the bamboo stem! How big is that bat fish? It look like a monster! Either way I'm sure they're all amazing smokes. Enjoy them!

 

[danielplainview]

Nice trio! Those are amazing.

The Dublin by Eckhard Stohr rocks my world.
It seems like your well on your way to opening the Fishnbanjo Pipe Gallery, and hopefully very soon!

 

[tarak]

I'm not a fan of bamboo, nor of non traditional shapes....but that Dublin? My goodness that's a nice pipe! Enjoy your new additions.

For those that liked the transition Holger Gunia did on the bamboo shank to briar bowl here is how he did it. Both the Gunia and Stohr smoked very well, the Batson is unsmoked so I have not smoked it yet, only smoked the other two since they were previously smoked. As one would imagine I want to savor the smoking of the Bat Fish for when I'm not fighting freezing temps and howling winds. :D
