The Poker Chip Stack

[fishnbanjo]

Unless you're an avid bamboo fly rod fisher you probably won't know the maker of this pipe.
From German bamboo fly rod maker, Rolf Baginski, who makes some pipes in his spare time where he sells them at fly fishing shows, is this Poker Chip Stack as I've named it. It's actually a short Poker Sitter which has a nickel silver ring accent where the stem mounts the bowl and 6 60 degree cut sections of bamboo mounted 60 degrees apart around the bowl which is sort of his signature but it did come with a pipe bag with one of his hand sewn patches on it.
Having a great time keeping it smokey with some Mac Baren Virginia Flake.

That is the pipe in my avatar the day I purchased it. Here is the photo I took before I put it in its bag.

Another beauty, Banjo.

I like both of them, but the truncated smooth version is a real visual surprise, the proportions I guess.

mso489, that is the same pipe, the poor lighting did nothing for showing what it looks like which is why I posted the photo from when I first got it.
