Pipes Someone Needs to Buy Before I Do

[UncleBob]

I almost bought this one just a moment ago:


Danish Estates: Danish Sovereign Smooth (305) (by Stanwell)

I am glad I called, though. I don't generally care for oval shanks. This has an oval shank.

Yeah, but it is particularly sinuous in profile, with a sweeping line following through its uplifted heel, languid transition, and gently-turned shank. For $65!

Still, I'd go for the Algerian briar bent billiard. Apart from the alliteration, it is both charming and playful.

I'm still resisting (so far). But that pipe is an excellent example of a half-bent billiard.

On to others: I held this 1960s Dunhill in my hand yesterday. There was an indication he would take less than the $200 listed price; for a Dunhill in this condition, I am not sure why he would have to.
It is a Group 4 and seems just a bit small for me.

The fever has subsided. I am out on this one. I will leave this here as one of you with a Dunhill urge should snap this up.

Now, back to sniffing out long shanked Upshalls.

I have that shape and size in the Shell Briar finish. It's my birth year pipe.

I just saw this on the smokingpipes homepage slider. It really spoke to me. In fact, I thought, "I haven't bought a pipe in a long time! You deserve it!"

At least I have good taste, I guess. No so sure how wife would feel on me blowing a couple mortgage payments on 1 pipe instead :/

Not my thing, but amazing work.
I wouldn't know whether to smoke it or put it in my transmission.

I've held this pipe in my hands.

That must have knocked a couple of bucks off the resale value, eh?

I also put the stem to my lips. It was all downhill from there.

For the record, this was before it was sold so the lucky schmuck who shelled out the $1500+ for this one got some ID fingerprints and spit.

It's funny I found this pipe randomly a month ago. Today I found another pipe that I like randomly on the steampunk thread. FredS brought it to my attention that BOTH pipes were made by Nate King who is on this forum. One could call me a Nate King fan.

That's funny. The guy who made this pipe (N8) worked as a transmission specialist for an Indy racing team before he started carving pipes. I have some gears out of a Lola gearbox that he traded for a pipe I made a few years ago. I've been inside street transmissions and even made gears when I was a machinist, but these Indy car gears are absolute works of art. The surface finish and polish on them is immaculate. It's easy to see why a gear head such as N8 would be inspired by them.

Yes, that does make a lot of sense.

That's one fine Darwin! Yes, it is. That's it. Can Christians have things like that?
It's Christmas, surely Mrs UB isn't Madame Scrooge with pipes at Christmas?

You could ask Santa.

An early and severe test of my New Years resolution to simply enjoy the pipes I already have.
