What do You See in this Pipe?

[milk]

I’ve over-spent so I cannot get this Nachwalter pipe, which is for sale over at smokingpipes currently. I find this shaping so beguiling and attractive, I can’t stop looking at it; it’s effortlessly natural in its strange curves and charming in the way the grain and stain accentuate the shape. It has a mystery to it.
What influence do YOU see in this pipe? Do you like it as much as I do?

It has a certain 'organic' look to it. If it speaks to you so much that you started a thread about it, you should snatch it up anyway.

What do I see? I see the future.

You smoking this pipe!

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

Love the look and dimensions.

Elegant.

The shaping is reminiscent of the "swan neck" stem of my 1926 Dunhill Bruyere 151.
I would say elegant is a good description of the pipe.

I see a bowl too deep and too wide

 

[Sigmund]

Id presume it tapered. Id throw in some meer chips and go to town.

It’s a good looking pipe but I’m sure I don’t love it as much as you do. If I did I’d be buying it and not making this post

I prefer tiny straight billiards. Oh and I don't smoke used pipes. So that one's all yours!

Fra-gee-lay
I see a woman’s leg… well you asked. It reminded me of The Christmas Story movie and the leg lamp.

 

[Sigmund]

reminds me of a more rounded version of the ser jacopo I have.

Hi Which meer chips do you use?

 

[beefeater33]

It looks hideous to me................ the bend of the stem is atrocious, looks like it has a "kink" in it.
But if it trips your trigger, by all means buy it........

I use the white elephant since they are all I know about. I also have taken my wifes broken clay garden pots, pounded them with a hammer to the right size and gave them a quick rinse in a collander. They work as well or better than meer chips and they are free. It also lets me hammer something!

I use them several times before tossing. Depends on how thrifty you are.

I use same, but in about 1" square, to hydrate tobacco. Can be reused indefinitely for that purpose.

 

[kcghost]

In any event it is a nice pipe.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Not my cuppa, but it is singing your name.....

1/4 bent max for me. For smoking reasons, not aesthetics. Other than that, nice looking pipe.
