Scottie Piersel Owners' Club

[lukasstrifeson]

I've been a long time admirer of Scottie Piersel's signature "pencil shank" pipes but only recently had the opportunity to welcome a couple into my home. Here is my first:

Ms. Piersel's 2019 GKCPC Carvers' Contest entry:

Had to go deep in the cellar to find something worthy of her virgin bowl; but I thought it was fitting that this daper Froggy gets to sit on her log first. Would love to see your Scottie Piersel pipes!

Sweet pipe and awesome post to go with it.

I can’t help but think I’d break one of those pencil stem stummels in about a half hour.

I have a whole rack of pencil thin stemmed pipes that I have yet to snap. But, my understanding is that she puts a stainless steel insert into her stems.

Well, there you go. Problem already solved!

That was my thought exactly. Just reminds me of my Grabow that split down the shank from me smoking too fast.

Ok then that would solve the problem. She's not as crazy as it seems! Haha

Wicked stem. Care to say a few words on the pipe? I'm just getting to know mine, be curious to see what others are experiencing with the shank style and the different bowl shapes.

Wow, that's a beauty. Reminiscent of a devil anse but with the signature pencil shank. Very cool

That's a good looking pipe. How do her long shank briars smoke?

And another I’ve acquired but will be leaving soon. It was the backup for her KC Pipe Show contest pipe a couple years ago. It remains unsmoked.

Wow, talk about presence!! Popeye himself might even struggle with clenching this one.

It’s only 5” in length. Even though it’s all front heavy it’s still easily clenchable.

After looking for quite some time I finally found one that fit my style. It is perfect group 4-5 sized pipe that will give me good 1.5 to 2 hours pf smoking pleasure. Here is my Scottie.

My next from her will be more sized to my liking as well.

We consulted on the stain and the stem color combinations. Mostly Scottie suggested and I agreed. I couldn't be happier with the result. It smokes very well. I had a previous one of hers and the bowl was too small for me, so I sold it and ordered this larger bowl. I'm not good with the Dunhill numbers but this might be a group 4 which is perfect for my needs. I also put my order in for the author shape pipe that Scottie has been commissioned to make as the Pipe of the Year for the NASPC.
