Trevor Talbert Poker

[cigrmaster]

i posted this in the wrong room last night as I was a bit over medicated so I decided t post it in the proper room with photos I just received from Trevor. It is a Ligne Bretagne Collector model and I am very excited to finally acquire one of his pipes. it is a large group 3 to small group 4 in size and should be perfect for my flakes. The stem is made of some kind of horn which will be my first of that type of stem.

I love pokers and that one is a beauty.

Harris, when you discover that you hate that stem because of your picky little bicuspids, I will buy the pipe off you.

That is awesome Harris! One of the best blasts I've seen on any pipe! Congrats!

 

[dervis]

That is a great looking pipe. Alot of Detail in that.

I love pokers, and I also love Trevor's Ligne Bretagne line as I have an Oom Paul, which is rather small for that shape, it is a wonderful smoker as I'm sure that beauty will be for you Harris, well done!

 

[tinpan]

Wow, that is very nice

Thanks for the nice comments guys. I am excited to smoke a poker for the first time, if it smokes as well as my Cherrywood, I will be a very happy camper as my Cherrywoood smokes like a champ. For years I thought the Poker shape was for old men, but since I am now an old man, I guess it fits me now.
Peck, since the pipe only weighs 34 grams, I am sure the stem will not be an issue, but if it is, I will trade you the pipe for your Bang and won't charge you any money, we can do an even swap. lol

That is a beatuy. I have never smoked a horn stem before. I would love to know how that feels compared to you other artisans. Please give us a full report when you get out of the hospital. Good luck buddy. Even over medicated you sure can pick out a gorgeous pipe!

Congratulations Harris on your new pipe. I hope it smokes well for you so that it will take your mind off the pain you are in.

Love that pipe! The first pipe I bought back in the early 80's was a poker. A no name pipe made in Italy, but at least it had no fills. I still have it and I still love the poker shape. Hope you enjoy it for years to come.

Very Nice Poker Harris. She is a beaut!! Hope you enjoy. Hope you get rid of that Pesky stone soon and get back to feeling better. Take care of yourself and that Poker. :puffpipe:

I like it. Great blast finish. I like the compact aspect of it. My pokers are a Parker and LaRocca, not exactly

in this league, but I love the shape. And, the Parker is a blast.

I've recently had a few pokers grab my eye. I remember when I first started out, I saw one and thought "what the heck is that?" Much like my reaction to seeing my first bulldog. I now own 4 bulldogs. And 1 cherrywood.
What a beautiful pipe! That is some great lookin rustication, looks like it cascades along the bowl very smoothly. I hope she smokes as good as she looks!

 

[weezell]

Even over medicated you sure can pick out a gorgeous pipe!

MMMmmmm, over medicated goooood :rofl: ...

That is a beautiful example of what it means when everything comes together. The shape and blast complement each other beautifully. Ligne Bretagnes are excellent pipes and a true bargain for the buck. Mine are terrific smokes.

Congratulations on your acquisition!

 

[pipeherman]

Wow, that shouts "Smoke me"! ::

 

[cigrmaster]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone, it is really appreciated.
saddle, how many Bretagnes do you own and do they all smoke similar? I am assuming they smoke cool and dry and never need a pipe cleaner to soak up excess moisture like all of my other artisan pipes. That is one of the features of artisan pipes I like so much as my biggest pet peeve is a pipe that needs a pipe cleaner to soak up moisture.
chris, I will definitely report back on how the stem feels in comparison to my vulcanite stems, I am also very curious as to how it feels.

I had posted on the other thread you started but want you to know that pipe is just so classy looking and horn stem too. I hope you get along with the stem as it is a beautiful thing. I just Love it.

Fantastic blast on that pipe Cigr. If it smokes half as good as it looks it'll be a great pipe.
