Churchwarden “Contrast”

I recently spent an evening with my wife and a couple of old friends in our back yard smoking pipes, sippin’ Jack Daniel’s and discussing Theology and church history. The nice thing about old friends, even with the passage of time, and the separation by miles, when you get together again it’s like you start up right where you left off. I have a tendency to place sentimental value on objects. This pipe has taken on the memory of that evening. Now when I smoke it I smile and remember an evening I got to spend with my friends, and I look forward to a time when we can get together again.

Of all my pipes this is the one I spend the most time with. It’s a shorter Churchwarden than the “Captured egg”, about 10″ in length. I think the thing I like the most about this pipe is the contrast between the polished body and the natural, untouched crown. It mimics my life – I’m polished in areas but I’m pretty rough around the edges.

$150.00 US
