This year that theme was past pipe making legends.

This is my personal favorite of the extraordinary group:

Werner Mummert: Smooth Alfred Dunhill Stingray Tribute Billiard Tobacco Pipe​

You can't go wrong with Werner Mummert! That is when he is doing somewhat traditional shapes.

I also like WV native Abe Herbaugh‘s 100% handmade tribute to Barling, but the $7000 price tag means I couldn’t smoke it on my tractor.

The youtube video is up now, too.

Yep that Herbaugh is phenomenal.
The Martelo is super cool too.

I’d probably enjoy smoking the Ryan Alden more than any of them though.

I also really liked the Trey Rice, Adam Davidson and Pete Prevost pipes. But all were sold quickly.

When I saw the Prevost I didn’t realize what I was seeing at first.
It just looked like a Becker to me, but with a P instead of a B. I was very confused..

Of course I’m biased, but Abe Herbaugh’s Barling tribute puts everything else in the shade. His work is masterful in all regards. There’s a level of multi talented skill beyond anything else in the pack. Having been a silver smith in an earlier incarnation, I’m well aware of the difficulties he surmounted.

I may also be a little biased because I supplied Abe with the reference he used, and he far exceeded my wildest hopes and dreams.
