I'm in the process of having a pipe made to my specs...I'm really torqued up over it.:smiley20: It's gonna be based on the Rhodesian Chubby pictured here. http://www.rmdpipes.com/AvailablePipes.html
It's going to have a longer bent stem...Five inch...For starters with maybe a few other personalized details. This guy does excellent work and should make me a pipe I'll enjoy for years.
Thats a nice looking pipe, that calabash is nice too. Very reasonable prices, is there a big price difference going custom made?
Nope...The guy loves to make pipes and is not really profit oriented. He does make a buck or two though.
Im looking hard at that Pipe 022 - Churchwarden.
Its not a very practical pipe but i just love the way it looks.
I got a chunk of brair burl to make a custom a few weeks ago. I'm starting into the holiday season now though so prolly won't get back to it until Jan now. I've heard it's a bitch to work though.

Damn it's cutthroat in here!
arrived today. Really nice, bigger than I thought. Construction is A grade. I wouldn't hesitate ordering another from him.
I think the guy is good...
Agreed, and buying from him was a snap. Shot an email, he replied, used PP and it's here. I ordered Monday at around lunch time
Thank you nhcigarfan! I was trying to figure out how to get the money together to get that one. I appreciate you sparing me the temptation! :smiley4:Quote:

That is a slick pipe!!
I'm not even into pipes but that is some nice work. The one you had designed and the Volcano look pretty sweet.
Ken,
If you get a chance please post some more pics.
thanks
Sarge how does it smoke?
DG
It smokes really well. I smoked a variety of tobacco in it. It is my latakia blend pipe. It burns burly well also. I recomend the pipe maker. He is great that makes a quality pipe for a fair price.
I'm so happy that I stopped by. Bob Davison lives not more than a half an hour from me. I have a Ashton XXX, crafted by Bill Taylor, himself, many years ago. It's a cross between an apple and prince with very thick walls and a quite small tobacco chamber. I'll talk to Bob about replicating the design of this pipe. The original is smooth, but I'd like this one rusticated.Quote:
