Sadik Yanik Freehand

[fred]

This Pipe would not let me pass on purchasing it. Currently, I only have the

one photo, but have been promised them all by Sadik Yanik. Now comes

the wait. Turkey is a long way from Texas, but this one will be worth it.

It is 7.5" long and 3" high.

Thanks guys. Over the years, there a many of his Pipes that I would

have liked to have added to my modest collection, but it comes down to

a matter of available cash. This one stands out in his art and just

wouldn't let me rest...

Yesterday, the postman left an attempt to deliver notification, as I wasn't

home to sign for the package. I retrieved it from the Post Office today

and have cleaned the dust out of it. After I'm finished looking at it, I'll

fire it up. The wait was worth it for this Pipe.

Fred, that is A beautiful pipe

Is that an amber stem? Very cool!

 

[fred]

Thanks guys. The bit is a two piece acrylic military mount that

uses a derlin push/pull connector. Amber runs $100 per inch and

is difficult to maintain. I know that it is highly prized, but for

me it is uncomfortable and no one I know will repair it.
