I don't know that much about making pipes but the forum really started to raise some good and new pipe makers. One of them is Knucklehead ! He gifted this pipe to me. I saw some photos of pipes here which he made, they're really good looking pipes but this one is the finest to me. An old saying; given vinegar is sweeter than honey Just kidding. I think it's a real handicraftsmanship. Thank you Knucklehead.
