Wayne Teipen Has Made An Amazing All-Briar Sandblast Beyond Belief

It is a work of art. The stem is amazing. Is the tenon briar or delrin? The fit really does look like one piece. Congrats to you both!

I don't know which is more amazing -- the pipe or the gift.
It's rare to see something truly unique and new in pipemaking these days, but this is definitely it.

Awesome pipe! I need a Teipen pipe.

Wow! Beautiful! I would like to see one of those in a lighter color! Great gesture on Wayne's part and you are a lucky dog!!

I can't see pix on my gov't computer. Your narrative sent me scrambling for my phone to see. That pipe is just, well words fail me (rare occasion...).
Congratulations on an amazing pipe and Mr. Teipen gets huge props for making that pipe and his tremendous generosity.

Simply put, breathtaking, enjoy it with many years of fond memories and fine smokes.

This could not have happened to a more deserving and esteemed forum member/ pipester than Troy!

Congrats Troy, and kudos to Wayne for artistry, innovation and generosity. :clap:

+1 Well spoken Cortez!

One of my very first pipes (my second, actually) was an all briar poker. It confused my pipe knowledge at the time because it made me think it was a common thing. Realised shortly after that it was not.

I find briar stems and buttons really comfortable because they are softer. Of course, they wear quicker but I really do enjoy them!
