[Jfire]

Wow those are beautiful looking pipes. I was all about a devil anse pipe but the one in the middle is calling my name

We can arrange it for you in no time!

 

[CVAC085]

So, we have to vote on 1 of the 3 or 4 pipes available this year? And the most votes win correct?

 

[cgraunke]

@CVAC085 basically, yeah. But I'll go in to more detail in a Q&A/review thread, then we'll turn that in to a poll and go from there. Right now I just wanted to get the submissions out there for everyone to see. I'll get more detailed photos soon.

I don't even smoke pipes and blah, blah, blah

To every problem there exists a solution...

 

[JustTroItIn]

Love all three! Side, front, and a top shot on all three would be great for the poll would be great. From what I'm seeing right now I would be proud to own any of those pipes. Props to all the carvers!

Okay, not how I wanted to do this but I don't want it held up any longer. Here's three quick snaps to gets some dialog moving until I can do detailed pictures:

.

Clint, first of all, thank you for taking point on this. Kudos to the three carvers who offered up a prototype!
On the Devil's Anse, where does the stem separate from the shank? Hard to tell from the picture. I think the stem includes the little button of wood?

Holy hell, those are sweet! I'm loving no.2 and really like no. 1 as well!

Yeah, I'll be getting more pics up soon. Detailed, inside and out.

 

[JustTroItIn]

Yeah, I'll be getting more pics up soon. Detailed, inside and out.

Would love to see pics with the stems removed too if not too much trouble.

 

[Angry Bill]

1 and 2 are great. 3 is just ok for me. More pics would be really helpful. Thanks Clint for your dedication on this.

 

[tadpole]

approx. how much will the pipe cost?

 

[ChiefIlliniwek]

Wow Clint. Number 1 and 2 are definitely the better two. Number three is definitely nice though. I don't currently own a briar, but I'm thinking I might pop for one of these.

 

[Hiram-2011]

All three are very nice looking. This is gonna be fun.

 

[cgraunke]

approx. how much will the pipe cost?

Plan is to stay around that $225 mark.

Let me know if there are specific angles or details you want to see, side by side shots, measurements, etc., and I'll try to incorporate everything when I start the review and poll thread.

The second pipe for me! Third pipe is nice too, but I have a bunch of billiards.

[K Williams]

[K Williams]
