Second Pipe

[nutcracker]

I can hardly contain my excitement for my new pipe to arrive. I have been dreaming about a new pipe for a long time and searching all over the place, covering many makes, models, and options. I tried to keep in mind that the pipe should speak to you. After several that I really appreciated, this one just stuck out as my next pipe. I had a bunch of OT at work and was able to purchase this and several tins to try out. I do have to say that my recently gifted Stonehaven from sablebrush will be the first smoke.

Nice pipe! Love the stem detail!

 

[vink]

Wow! what brand/carver?

 

[davet]

Very nice, love that grain

 

[macaroon]

What a beaut! The repeated theme between the shank and stem--the little "elbow" bend--is a very neat touch.

Nice Ardor.

 

[fitzy]

WOW. Congrats. I love everything about that pipe.

 

[nutcracker]

Thank you all!
I fell in love with the straight grain all of the way around the bowl, the shape detail, and the stem... so yeah, the whole pipe.
bigpond has it right. It is an Ardor Marte Fantasy Bent Egg.

macaroon- I love your avatar. The bokeh is beautiful and looks shot wide open. What lens was that?

 

[gogosamgo]

Oh man! That Ardor is beautiful! Congrats, let us know how it smokes!

Beautiful pipe and grain. That stem is a knockout.

Tried the Stonehaven that sablebrush54 sent in a Comoy Canadian...delicious.
