Churchwarden (Captured egg)

My neighbors have referred to me as Gandalf while smoking this pipe. At 12" in length this is an extremely comfortable pipe to smoke. While sitting at my picnic table the pipe rest in the hand with no thought of positioning, it's just there.

This pipe is made from Sapele, a beautiful wood harvested in Brazil. While I enjoy the look of the wood I wouldn't do another pipe in this wood. The grain is to straight and prone to splitting (which this one did). But the shape of the "Captured egg" is a very nice shape and a real challenge to carve.

$180.00 US

  1. I like this one, make me a pink one ;)

  2. When I get a pipe from you, this is the one I will get. I like it a lot. In the next month or so, I would love to get together and chat about a pipe over a pipe.
