The Poker - A Shape That Gets No Respect

[irish]

Harris, Bradley, as usual neither one of you disappoint. Beautiful pipes all the way around!!

 

[petes03]

As I said earlier, I only have one. A simple Peterson "Tankard", but its a good smoker, and a very light clencher!

Very nice representations of poker shaped pipes guys keep them coming all I have is a David Jones poker Nosewarmer.

Stock photo of mine. It's by the famous Albanian maker MM, in Grade 1 Alligator Rustication, with a British Mastodon Ivory band.

Nothing as classy as you Peck but next to the Straight classic billiard or Dublin, the Poker is my favorite. Thanks for sharing yours. You have some awesome pokers. Thanks to everyone. They are all great.

I love them all. The quintessential American pipe.

I saw Coopersark sell that one for a bundle just a few months ago. Congrats.

Thanks! He said the stem is petrified amber, and the insert is a genuine fossilized caveman painting!

Dan, that second one is right up my alley. Beautiful stuff.

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Durham, I have never seen, let along tried, a meerschaum lined briar. Do they smoke much the same as a regular meer?

Don't know where I have the original pics but the bamboo is pictured on the pipe logo site:

This other I made a few years back when "coopersark" handled some of my work:

Absolutely beautiful pipes! I have three, a Barling Guinea Grain, a long shanked Lee Von Erck, and a Scott Thile. I'll put 'em up if I can find time to photograph them. The poker is a beautiful pure shape.

Do they smoke much the same as a regular meer?

Almost. They aren't quite the same. I have a Whitehall Billiard that is meer lined. It's not as good as my meers, but it's pretty good.
I like pokers and cherrywoods, but I only own one. It's a Storient PM 2012. Mine is one of a kind, since I'm a mod,I had him carve MOD on one side of the shank.

Here is my Savinelli Punto Oro Poker

and my Tsalagi Poker

I love both, but favor the Cherrywood.
Two on my rack, a David Jones and an Ashton Pebble Grain.



Almost forgot this GBD 1345

"Dan, that second one is right up my alley. Beautiful stuff."
Thanks!

Sorry Peck,

I was in and out of the shop finnishing up a pipe and chiming in once in a while and never saw your response. You mean that lightweight blast Poker? Yeah, me too weighs 28 grams,17.5mm chamber sweet flake or coin pipe.

I suppose this little Peterson "Barrel" of mine could slide into this category as well.

 

[pipeherman]

I love the poker, I have one proper poker and a Tankard. I pretty sure the tankard is just a less manly poker. I never considered the poker for old men, just dangerous men. 8)

I love threads like this. They just make me drool. I am more of a fan of the cherry woods, especially the radical ones.
