2017 BOTL Pipe of the Year

[cgraunke]

@cgraunke It appears I am a little late to the show but if there is still a pipe spot available I would like to buy one again this year.

Oh, no, you're not late. I am.
You're good.

Sweet, I'll keep an eye out for future threads in the pipe section.

I like the smooth one also.

 

[cgraunke]

And our pipe maker for 2017 will be:
PIPE #2 - Jim Brown of Heisenberg Pipes!

 

[cgraunke]

We've heard some feedback about not feeling the three colors. Any other thoughts/elaborations on that?
Any other alterations you'd like to bring before the group?

I'm just not loving that green and that color of stem. I'd suggest a narrower band, black with gold trim bands placed about where the rear edge of the green band is. Then go with a darker stem.

I love the green band. The stem doesn't give enough contrast, I do agree, with it kinda blends in a bit and more everything.

I don’t mind the green. I like non traditional bold colors and contrast. I agree the stem blends in and should be a different color. Then you have to ask what would go with that green?

pink

I like the green - personally my favorite color, but I do agree the stem color should change

 

[Patrickh44231]

It's a brighter colored green. If you do by color by contrast you'de be looking at a blue violet. Or basically anything in the cold spectrum that's dark. So black or a cool(blue) brown. Look at a color wheel and color theory.

I like the stem color, but I'd prefer a black marbled stem accent. Maybe even some kind of dark brown.

 

[Highlander]

Are we ordering yet?

 

[sweemzander]

so 2018 pipe of the year?

 

[ak2000]

IMHO Have it made by Moretti or Martin Cermak, a black Morta like this one

If you need a hand let me know. The pipe is stunning!

I actually commissioned this one based on a Askwith design. I didn't take it because he made the stem too thin at the button even though I asked him not to. I regret not getting it, but I would commission it again with a slightly longer and thicker stem.
