Seasonal Novelty Pipes - Halloween

[Choatecav]

Not sure how many of you are into novelty pipes. I know a lot of folks buy and collect the Christmas pipes, etc. but I just got a message from Morgan pipes. They have a Halloween themed pipe that at only $99 might be good for a lark or would make a cool gift for another piper.

I own a couple of Morgan bones pipes and they smoke pretty well....

Trever Talbert has been making Halloween pipes for years.

Trevor Talbert has a definite style to his Halloween pipes that make them standout!!

I have a few that get smoked a bit more during this time of year.

That's right! I don't think he has released these in the past few years.



Another maker had a "Grotesque" line, I can't remember his name. Not my cup of tea, but he had his fans. He used to do the East coast shows, then just disappeared.

Amazing craftsmanship on display there, for sure.
The talent that some folks possess just blows me away....

Ah, that is the person I was thinking of "Monstrosity Pipes" (not Grotesque).
His Etsy page says he is taking a break, due to a death in the family, but that was posted in April 2023.

Can't people smoke normal pipes anymore?

I plan on having Trevor carve me a halloween pipe -we've chatted periodically but since I have special reason to celebrate the holiday.... I need one in my collection.

Special reason?

Is that a gentle way of letting us know you're a zombie, or your mother's a real live broom-riding witch?

I like that pipe, too. Is it new or an estate?

I was wondering about that "special reason" too......

I think what he mean to write was, "I have a special purpose...".

Yup, I'd buy it. I'd get a new stem made any way. Something with some orange in it.
