Yashtylov is one of few pipe makers I consider as an artist and his pipes are original. I like the ideas he has created, with his pipes and pipe accessories. My wife is a designer, she doesn't like pipes and said that most pipes I have showed her (Bo, Lars, Jess etc..) look boring. Once I showed her the tamper "Time is timeless" by Yashtylov, she looked at it for few seconds and told me: "this tamper is nice, it has idea and style". This by far the best comment she has said about pipes and anything around pipes. :D
