@RockyMountainBriar I have to say that Jeff Gracik is one of the most innovative pipe makers (in terms of technique) out there; he is our instructor for the pipe making seminar at the Chicago pipe show.
A total class act, with such humility and patience, he is the epitome of a pipe making instructor, and a great guy to hang with.
@ Sorry Gordon, I'm a page behind. The pipe I was speaking of was on page 24 - the middle one in the alpascia collection.
I've been so busy trying to get these roof repairs underway that I've been behind on everything else. Including my leisure activities like checking out the site and even smoking my pipe.
Couple that with the Covid resurgence in my area and all the other turmoil happening around me and I find myself in a serious funk. Normally I turn to my pipe and some music for relief ... but right now nothing seems to appeal to me.
@ghostsofpompeii; I have noticed that a lot of folks feel the same way with the virus stomping on us. Remember, you are stronger than you know. We will get through all of this. I hope china has to pay for unleashing this shit on the world, but as is often the case probably not. I refuse to let them get me down, I am too blessed!!
@RockyMountainBriar That was the same thing I was thinking. I have two 'bridge' or 'thumb hole pipes' (not sure what the proper name is) in my collection and that seems like a great way to present them.

I’d pick that $#!t up.
You like Radice pipes? How about this one?
J. Alan: Smooth Blowfish Two Pipe Set with Ping Zhan (with Tamper and Claudio Albieri Case) $5,000
IMP Meerschaum: Smooth Horn with Silver (with Case)
That particular Radice is “for the birds” 😬
Ya may have lost me. You mean the fish?
I can only offer you what the Lord said to Joshua:
”Be strong and of good courage.”
