Top 3 Pipes

[utahpipeman]

Here they are. The order in the photo does not imply a ranking. I love all three. At the top, there is a Mark Tinsky bent apple that brought pipe smoking to a new level and inspired me to buy some other premium pipes. The pipe in the middle is made by Yuriy Aksenov (YakSlon on this site). It is so beautiful that I hate to smoke it, but it smokes great too. I will be ordering another from him for sure. Finally, the rusticated Dublin pipe at the bottom was recently purchased from Paolo Becker. I can't believe how light it is. Obviously, it's a piece of art too, but most importantly, like the other two, it is also a great smoker.

Just for some comparative information, other pipes not in my top 3 include L'Anatra, Ardor, Peterson, and Savinelli. Nothing against them, but these three make smoking something to look forward to.

Very nice. I so have to get me a nicely carved masterpiece from Yuriy Aksenov aka YakSlon. You could talk really dirty to us and describe how each of these pipes smokes.
