Show us Your Favorite Sandblasts

[chumleeroy]

Show off.your best sandblasted pipe(s). And tell us why it get your motor running.

Here's mine. "KBB drinkless "kaywoodie" thorn. Looks nice and craggy, like a 1930's Dunhill. A rarely seen shape, "rounded square" made from 1931-1938. Unfortunately the stinger was gone when i got it. And the stem.had been over sanded at one point, so its smaller in diameter than the shank.

Because they're not smooth pipes.

I've got a Peterson Newgrange XL02 that I love. The blast isn't in the same league as the pipes in this thread but it's a great pipe. Nice shape, bowl holds plenty of tobacco and I like the way the blast feels in my hand.
I like looking at the high end straight grains with their birdseye and whatnot but I prefer an amazing sandblast. Embers pipes are a perfect example of this.

I can't be arsed to take a picture at the moment. It's basically the same as this one except on mine the silver is tarnished because I haven't cleaned it for a while because i'm lazy.

My favorite has to be this little Ropp J07. I bought it just for the blast.

This Damaino Rovera ring blast. Great smoker too and comfortable.

Peterson Anniversary system 03 Rua. My favourite by far and I doubt I'll ever top it.

All the ones I posted were carved by the late Bruce Weaver. He called that design, "pipe-adelic".

This Comoys Gold Bark is pretty cool to me. This picture is washed out, it's actually much more orange and bright.

Agreed, it's almost as craggy as dunhills of the same era

Nice offerings so far.Most of my pipes are rusticated or sandblasts. I bought most of my long ago when I knew nothing
