2015 BOTL Pipe of the Year

[K Williams]

I don't even smoke pipes and was like wow!

Jump on over to the newbie pipe trade thread please.

 

[K Williams]

@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.

My mind's already made up. LOL.

Pipe #2 please...

 

[K Williams]

Plan is to stay around that $225 mark.

Just an idea. Rustication for 2016 to lower the price so more guys...even the current(that won't last long) non-pipe smokers will want to purchase.

All beautiful, but #2 is real nice.

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:

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.

Bowl depth, overall length, photos of stem and button work, photos of drilling, photo of mortise, photos of tenon
Thanks Clint!

1. Pic #2
2. Pic #1
3. Pic #3

I will be in no matter what pipe is selected! take my money!

 

[CVAC085]

I hope #2 wins. That's my favorite! Seems like it's going to be but we'll see. Plus it'll be my milestone birthday gift to myself this year too.

I'm quite torn between 1 & 2.

They're all beautiful pipes. I'm very torn also. But I'm a fan of the bent stem pipes.
