Wishlist Pipe by Ryan Alden

[solideogloria86]

Many of you have seen multiple posts by me, bemoaning this little foursquare Musico that was on my SP wishlist, but got sold before I pulled the trigger.

Well, @lonestar saw one too.
Long story short, he agreed to make a similar pipe for me.
Needless to say, it far exceeded expectations in every way.
I don't have it yet in hand yet, but I'll let these pictures he sent do all the talking.

I already knew he'd have to fit this one in the schedule in between the 300 things you've got him working on!

Guilty as accused

Looks nice but, how it smokes is the real question? Hopefully, it will be stellar!

Beautiful pipe with an amazing blast!

I thought those pictures were all the same pipe at first!

Awesome blast, and beautiful pipe as always by him!

Ryan is fantastic! And his pipes smoke as good or better than they look.

It arrived today. Seeing it in person is even better than the photos. I still can't believe how lucky I got with the blast. 360 ring grain on a 4 square is something to behold. The pipe is very light at just 30 grams. The bit is very comfortable, and the draw is nice and open. I'm about halfway through the maiden voyage with a bowl of HH Pure Virginia and the smoking mechanics are effortless. Thanks again @lonestar, you knocked it outta the park!
