Dream Pipe

motie2

It is a very beautiful pipe and a true artwork IMHO.

There's a Meerschaum that I've seen photos of that is incredible. It is a figure of Versingetorix that was displayed by Dunhill's Pipe Exhibtion, I have 2 very simple ones but, this one is way above them.

Here are the ones I have, the briar is a Butz Choquin and the Meerschaum may be a Wally Frank.

The Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman does this for me every time. #LightUpASmile

@xDutchx -- Outrageous!!

@motie2, Ain't it though! The attention to detail, especially so, in and around the pencil portion is just amazing. Plus, the inspiration and vision to craft a pipe like this, makes my jaw drop.

motie2

Great grain

Great carving

There's my broken Dragon Claw pipe! At least that's the way it looked before I broke the spacer between the stem and the bowl.

Hey, @ghostsofpompeii -- Weren't you looking for a windproof type pipe?

xDutchx

@motie2, I have seen several windshield billiards, but I have never even seen a picture of a windshield bulldog until now. I wonder how rare and collectible they are, now that they are around 100 years old?

motie2

Dunno. But put windshield bulldog pipe into Google Images.

The Alfred Dunhill Duke Street Centenary Pipe shown there is a bulldog of a sort, I believe.

motie2

Here's a rear windshield bulldog <giggle>

motie2

@xDutchx and @ghostsofpompeii -- But seriously, look at the Dunhill C020, with its windshield bulldog cap.

@motie2, That poor bulldog has a full time job keeping the rear window clean. Shouldn't be long at all before PETA shows up to put a stop to that!

xDutchx

Check out the attention to detail on the hair piece. Now here is a pipe that even a Libby could learn to love.......

@motie2 Did you see the price on that pipe. Over $2600.00!

motie2

Yes, indeed I did, but it's more than $2,900.00

Naw Phil, they are talking about the Dunhill Windshield pipe. The Donald is going for a very affordable $350.00, so you could add that one to your collection without blinking. Not sure why, but the site posted my link without the message. I am starting to get that fatal error message daily, and sometimes when I come to the site my puter locks up and has to be rebooted.

Woodsman

I don't see too many windshields, I found 1 Wally Frank Viking in all my travels which I showed a couple of months ago.

Philip

I can get it to complement my Tricky Dick Nixon pipe.

William J. Clinton is more of a cigar man.

My dream pipe right now would be Missouri Meerschaum bowls to fit the radiator system.   

I'm sure someone will come out with them sooner or later.

I like the ease of travel with the radiators, but I still love my cobs.

I'm on a quest to find a beautiful horn pipe.  Don't know what it is about this shape, as it is arguably one of the simplest designs out there.  Not necessarily simple to make, but definitely simple lines.

This one of Larrysson Pipes is absolutely unbelievable to me.

motie2

@Bonanzadriver -- Two to consider

This one gives me heart palpitations.........

xDutchx

@Philip, I have always wanted a Tricky Dick meerschaum, complete with victory salute, but I am guessing it would be tricky to clench.

Once you score your Nixon pipe, you may wish to pack it with:

-Briar works (Im)peach Cobbler
-Any of P&C's Out of Office blends

motie2

@Topaz75 -- Funny!!!!

If or when that Zombie Apocalypse comes I want to be trapped in a shopping mall with you guys. The world around us could be going to Hell but we'd still keep ourselves amused.
