I asked Doug to make me a bent Rhodesian pipe in an updated style using a favorite old pipe that’s been with me since the 80s as an inspiration or model . He crafted this beauty and I’m smoking it right now.
Now I'm pondering my third!! He makes great pipes. I have an idea in mind as well and will likely just turn this one over to him as well with just the idea to run with for fun.
Not a fan of the new parti-colored stem trend, the me, but the burnt orange and black combination gets a pass. Seems thematically relevant to fire and smoke, and is eye-catching without being garish.
