me too on all thatHe makes some unorthodox pipes. I don't care for a lot of the ones I have seen, but love that he is pushing the design envelope.
I do like that one though.
Will do once I decide what to blend to smoke for its first smoke. I might crack open a tin of something I haven't tried before for the heck of it.gotta let us know how it smokes! I love that look.
I'm very much the same. I have bought clothes in the past that I liked the look of but then never wore because it just wasn't me. I like things that are a bit unusual, but not in a loud and out there kind of way.As with clothes, I don't want a pipe that I feel I should somehow "live up to." I lean toward understatement, so it doesn't out-shout my personality -- assuming I have one.
You should meet him.?Anything else out of Mummert's work is way too far outside of my comfort zone.
I was at Bruce's one time when Werner was there. Bruce made us lunch on the grill and the two of them proceeded to start throwing ideas about a pipe collaboration. It was like watching two little boys with a new toy. They went to Bruce's shop and turned out a straight sandblasted billiard.........with googly eyes and a matching cyclops tamper.That dudes pipes are off the frickin wall. That said, he is clearly gifted with sandblasts. I’ve seen a few of his almost normal shapes that tempted me, but they are so few and far between in his lineup and priced so highly I have never pulled the trigger.
His wonky ass green pickle barrels, boxy clear steamrollers, and pipes shaped like some hotel in Dubai, I can live without. But to each their own.
Haha sounds about right out of those two!I was at Bruce's one time when Werner was there.
