Bought a Bing by Bruno Nuttens recently and I'm impressed with the fit and finish.
Especially the shank-stem alignment.
Curious about your opinions.

I have only seen pictures of them online and in YouTube videos. They sure are a beautiful pipe.
I have a few being a Handmade
Twiggy and a couple Bings B 3 & 4 grade finishes.
They’ve impressed me enough with build quality to get more.
All smoke very well and are pleasing to the eye and hand.
I intend to get another and more than likely a Billiard will be next.

I think they are slick. If I needed more non filtered pipes Id be grabbing one.
I've got one Nuttens (not a Bing) and it's excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to get more of his pipes if the opportunity presents itself.
I have a belge and it is both beautiful and smokes excellent.
It has the decorative metal on the shank.
One of my favorites due to it's weight and quality of smoke.

I have one of his Bings. Nice straight grained piece. The bit is solid. Good smoker and did not have to break the bank.
I've been interested in a mini Bing for a while but haven't found the right one. I'm also not sure if I would enjoy such a long pipe. If anyone's had a mini Bing I'd love to hear your thoughts!
After reading about and seeing Greg Pease’s Nuttens bings I have been on the search for one that suits me. Side note if anyone is worried about buying directly from Bruno and his website, I purchased a tamper from him and it was at my door within a week and well over protected for a tamper.
What is a "mini Bing" I'd have thought if it were cut down it's no longer be a Bing....?
And, maybe I am just thick, but I understand nothing of your newish sig....
This is a B3 Grade Smooth Mini.
It just a fantastic little group
2-ish sized pipe. Not overly long at 6.16 inches.
Think of it as 3/4 scale
"It ain't no damn Bing
If it ain't got that thing."
OK, jk. Unless the above is next to the original, couldn't tell.

I have a Merchant Service Bing and have been thinking for quite some time that I need a Nuttens. They look awesome in photos.
Thanks! How long is the smoke and how comfortable is it to clench?
It's a smaller version of Bruno's take on a bing.
25-40 mins depending on what I’m
In the mood for. I don’t really clench it however it’s light and balanced enough to do so comfortably
@ 20-21 grams without any stress.
