Thanks. I'm the second owner of this pipe. The original owner badly cracked the shank at the end in three places, and had it repaired because he loved it so much. I wonder why nobody in his family wanted it because they essentially gave the pipe away to a shop instead of keeping it as a sentimental piece. I know they got very little money for it because I bought it from a local pipe shop for fifty bucks in 2003. It's a great smoker with a wonderful blast, and deserving of the original Threee Nuns, which is the only blend I have smoked in it since I bought it.I love this pipe and how well used it is and keeps on performing! Amazing wood briar!
@PaulRVA, I have the same pipe and it’s a smoker, I really enjoy the cool long smoke it providesCapt. Earle’s Ten Russians in a Peterson Rusticated Pub Pipe.View attachment 291654
