Today It's Manduela Pipe ???

[Smoke Queen]

Hello everyone! I sure hope you are having a wonderful smokey weekend... I certainly am! Today I'm smoking another pipe made by a talented lady pipemaker, it's a Manduela.. it's got a very beautiful bright lavender stem, with sort of like a tie-die design.. it's very light and smokes wonderfully, also perfect for clenching! Oh and I painted my nails with the exact same color as the stem of my pipe! I'm a silly goose that way ? It was very hot in Toronto so I tried to enjoy the sun as much as possible before the summer is over ???

That's a beautiful take on a classic Dunhill/Genod shape.

Your commentary reminds me of the episode of Harley Quinn that I just completed. At one point we have a pas de deux between two characters that's designed to look like a '50's MGM musical number, and I designed the backdrop to be a simple gradient, matched to the fingernail color of our showrunner. She's quite the fashionista, and had her nails painted in a grad going from pale peach to pale lavender, so I matched to that for the backing.

Painted nails to match the stem. Very nice! We should all put that much effort in our posts.

The grape theme is artful. I haven't been that color coordinated since I left the Navy.

That’s a very beautiful pipe, and you have a beautiful collection of pipes that seem to really fit with your style.

Your posts remind me a bit of posts by the late fishnbanjo who was always keeping it smokey and showing off his beautiful and diverse collection of pipes.

You have very good taste. Everything melts into one beautiful photo. With that sensual charm..................wow?

Manduela learned her craft from a Danish carver so she does a great job of carving. It's lovely pipe that match your lovely nails quite nicely.

Love the nail color. It is always nice to see the collars and cuffs matching!

I love that! It's awesome!! I like doing that with my nails and did the toes the same color too!

I match my pipes with my neckties too but since it was so hot I didn't wear suit and tie this time and matched the pipe with my nails ???

Yes thank you! I agree if I do also say so myself! ?

Thank you kindly! I have to agree with you on this, though I would be very biased ??

Thank you so much! I am indeed trying to create a very diverse pipe collection.. I think I'm doing a good job so far, but again, I'm a little biased ???

@Cigar Ash Queen You know these photographs are bad for my blood pressure - although I am starting to think a Pipes Magazine 'Play Pipe' of the month center fold might have some mileage to it as a concept and it sure beats the hell out of looking at a whole bunch long beards!

Yess I like to make it artsy, after all, pipes sure are works of art not just something to smoke with... That's why I love to collect pipes... And I matched the pipe stem with my nails too! ??
