Shaintiques' 7 Day Tomato Set

[shaintiques]

Ever since I laid eyes on the Nording Bear I was hooked, it was love at first sight and that pipe led to a passion for the tomato shape. My friend Bradley very graciously gave me his bear and another and they are my most smoked pipes, but I have been slowly adding to their number and now have 7 similar in shape. I like this shape because they feel great in the hand, are light and great for clenching and seem to smoke flakes really well. In the picture: the top two are Nording Bears, Next two from left to right are a Winslow Crown and an Il Duca Olive wood blast, next is a Savinelli 320 Trevi and a Sav 320 Spring, and lastly is my custom Ryan Alden, which was his take on the bear shape. It has a Cumberland stem.

That's a good looking group of pipes. I think I like the pair of Nording Bears the best?

Unique shape to develop as a set. I like the Bears best, but all are great looking.

A really nice group of 'themed' pipes. I especially like the Winslow and the Alden.

Given my pick, I'd take the Alden.

The Alden, for me, is perfect in every single way. It won't be my last.

Dave, nice going pal. I love your seven day set. Now you need an appropriate tomato/globe shaped pipe rack and humidor to show them off with!
