Those can get pricey. But they sure are nice pipes. I hope you do land a smoking deal on an estate.I've always wanted a Tsuge Ikebana, but I'm not sure if I can justify spending that much on a pipe. Maybe if I come across an estate one of these days that's reasonable.
Already have a couple of fellows in mind.That would be interesting... Have you tried finding someone to work one up for you?
Are you putting dibs on people's collections? lolThere’s a few out there and the owners know I want them. I’m patient but time is not on our side.
Not collections but a specific pipe or two in their collection.Are you putting dibs on people's collections? lol
I hear that. Between a thing I read the other day and your post, I made a thread sort of about that. I wish I could get out to meets and things and see people's collections. Seattle Pipe Club occastionally had club get togethers, but nothing like a real meetup. One day I would like to make the Richmond show, the Vegas show, or (dare to dream) Chicago.Not collections but a specific pipe or two in their collection.
Do you have a historical drawing you want of her would the actress who plays her be ok? I think a historical rendering in meerschaum would be fantastic!I regularly gaze longingly at the Tsuge Urushi line.
Another, more eccentric pipe dream: Lady Trieu depicted in meerschaum, sure to start many interesting conversations.
Other thread, maybe?This one got morbid fast. Other than ones my kids may pick out, the rest of mine are going into a bonfire with my tobacco when I'm released from the land of the living.
I speak of the historical Lady Trieu, who was nine feet tall, had breasts four feet long, and was quoted as wanting to kill whales.Do you have a historical drawing you want of her would the actress who plays her be ok? I think a historical rendering in meerschaum would be fantastic!
With her boobs, no doubt...I speak of the historical Lady Trieu, who was nine feet tall, had breasts four feet long, and was quoted as wanting to kill whales.
Maybe an image in profile of her on an elephant, murdering an aquatic mammal.

I’ll be darned, didn’t he just join here?I want one of @SeasmokePipes sculpted freehands. I only seem to see them after they’re already sold
