Hello everyone,
I have been looking into the art of pipes and there is one particular style that caught my eye. I was hoping some of you might give me more recommendations.
I am looking for more pipes that look kinda like this:
http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/vauen/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=154166
http://www.danishpipeshop.com/product.asp?product=3514#.U_3tIWNBppd
So it's a straight billiard pipe (although it could also be an egg shape, or similar).
What i really like in particular is that it has a smooth part where the shank meets the stem, while the rest of it is sandblasted and much darker that the smooth part, which stands out. And also the stem narrows down pretty quickly, instead of gradually tapering down the closer it gets to the mouthpiece. I believe its called a saddle stem.
That is the main criteria that i have for what i am looking for. The pipe in the first link is almost perfect, but the stem could narrow down a little further away from the shank, like the stem in the second link.
I would prefer the option to use a filter, but any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Edit:
I also really like the pipe in this video:

However it was made by a small manufacturer, and im looking for something that is available somewhere online and could be shipped to Europe.
