An Ascorti Cavalier that I had picked
up from Bob Hamlin of
PCCA. The
pipe is also a sitter, resting on the drain
plug. This is also one of my favorite's


 

This is another pipe that I also picked
up from Bob Hamlin of
PCCA.
This pipe is a Ashton Old Church
finish with the drain plug being
made of horn. This pipe was one of
only 3 that have ever been produced
and is still un-smoked.......Maybe someday

 

 

Here is my first BAR pipe. I'm hoping
to add a few more to my collection at
some time.
Brian Ruthenberg's pipes
are first class in quality, workmanship
and design. If you don't own one of
his pipes yet then you don't know
what you are missing out on.........
 

A KayWoodie made for me by Bill
 Feuerbach. He also told me that
this was the first of its shape to be
made in at least 50 years. The
bowl has great grain all around
which can see from the pics.
This pipe is also turning out to be
one of my favorite pipes

 

 

This was the first Caminetto that
was added to my collection. The
pipe was made for Tinderbox on
celebrating their golden anniversary.
I got this pipe from a good friend
Mike Glukler of
BriarBlues. He is
truly a great person to deal with.

Here is the second Caminetto that
was added to my collection. This
was also made for Tinderbox to
celebrate their golden anniversary
and is still un-smoked as well.
I also got this one from
BriarBlues.
 

 

 

 

 

Here is the first Mark Tinsky
That I ever got. He also custom
made this pipe for me. As far as
I know this is the only one he has
ever done in this style. Maybe I
can talk him into making me just
one more in this shape.........

This is another variation of the shape
that
Mark Tinsky made. It is graded
as a pristine which is one of his highest
grades that he does. I acquired this pipe
from
BriarBlues.

 

 

 

 

 

What can I say about this pipe......
This was
Lee Von-Erck's attempt
at making a cavalier for me. As
you can see from the pic's this is
one huge pipe!! It is also a great
piece of art. I placed a 12 inch
ruler next to the pipe to give an
idea of its size. It took me two
years to get Lee to make one in
this shape but I can truly say that
it was well worth the wait.......

This was the second pipe I got from
Lee Von-Erck. This pipe fits very
comfortably in the hand is also one of
my favorite pipes. Lee's pipes are
always known for their unique style,
oil curing process, as well as being a
great smoking pipe. Many thanks Lee.....
