My Xmas gift came early

[MLBbreton]

Three quarters of the fun of smoking pipes is the pipes, the next three quarters is collecting and trying different tobacco and the last three quarters is the company.
I'm about to go enjoy this new Randy Wiley with some Lord Nelson and flash a picture of it to my ether pipe buddies.

I hope it's a poker as that's what I'm trying to collect for 2025.
If not... Won't be my last time getting the wrong pipe.
All kidding aside. It's a poker. It's from an American maker and I don't have many of them and I'm trying to vary my countries and makers.
And it was pretty .

A very tasteful pipe, hope it smokes as good as it looks.

Yes it is, and the only real reason you need to justify a pipe purchase

Real pretty pipe!
A pipe like that is art and it looks like the sort of thing that would make you smile when you see it displayed on your shelf.
If you must have art decorating your home, I think it just good sense to be able to smoke out of it!

It smoked like a dream. Feels nice in the hand. Good sized bowl. Stays lit. It's a great pipe. Happy with it.

Exactly my sentiment. Some of the pipes people post are awe inspiring.
The artist's ability to find the right shape for the grain. The textures and colors. All in a piece of art you set on fire thousands of times to prove it won't combust.
Burning man has nothing on us.

Good looking pipe. I have 2 Wileys, both great smokers. Will probably add another when I see one that strikes my fancy.

Can you shoot me a picture of them at your convenience. Thanks.

Hey, that doesn't add up. 3/4 plus 3/4 plus 3/4 comes out to be 2.25. A little over 100%.

Does it appear I have too much time on my hands?
