Werner Mummert Glass Shank Reverse Calabash Poker With Polymerized Pine Cone

SmokingPipes listed and sold this one to some lucky pipe collector this morning. Very innovative, to say the least.

I keep toying with the idea of getting one of these.

That’s kind of a fun idea.

The pine cone is very pretty. He's also etched his logo on the glass tube. Very nice.

Wow, I missed the etching on the glass tube. Thanks for pointing that out. It is a great touch.

 

[WorthyStewart]

It’s for sure different but I can’t help but look at that and be reminded of pipes that are used for smoking a different kind of tobacco

 

[woodsroad]

Real craftsmanship there. It's a fun pipe. Bet he could do something more aesthetic with those materials, though.

 

[xrundog]

It’s been done before. KEN pipes maybe? Admittedly not that nice.

I was looking at the rest of his portfolio on SP the other day, and I think he has some pretty neat ideas on the whole.

wonder how it smokers. I imagine it is the rare pipe that might be more fun to watch someone smoke then to actually smoke ones self.

His pipes are certainly unique.

I've never been a fan of any of his I've seen. But still really glad that someone out there is taking a playful outlook on pipe making. And I also have to admit the price point turns me off. Like novelty isn't worth that much, though usually novelty and quality don't go together, so I am being a bit silly about it.

I can’t disagree with you, although I have two of his pipes—both gifts. While I probably wouldn’t have purchased them myself, based on aesthetics, they are both outstanding smokers.

I think he's a great example of how high end goods work. They have to have something to set them apart. And they aren't like Sav or Peterson where they have a wide appeal but they can exist in basically the same space. You couldn't really tell me that one is clearly better then the other or that I wouldn't be about as happy with either. But Werner is the only person making what he makes or anything comparable.

His shapes and finishes are definitely extremely unique, I've been eyeing his pipes for a while now but just haven't pulled the trigger on one. (God knows I don't NEED another pipe).

 

[WerewolfOfLondon]

I'd love to have one of his pipes, but they are just too over priced for what they are.
