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.

And when Knucklehead gets famous, you can tell everybody you know him.

Absolutely.

Very classy, how does it smoke? I'd say that pipe needs a Fedora

Another beautiful and unique knucklehead pipe. The poker he sent me is getting heavy use. And there is a genuine joy in knowing the craftsman of the pipe in my hand.

I'll start to break it today with a Yayladağ (the leaf in the photo above) blend I've made before, we'll see how it's smoke

He's really getting tuned in on those pipes, Very nice looking pipe!!! It's always sweeter when you know the thought behind it. And I'm still trying to learn a bit abought blending pipe tobacco to fully appreciate.

Really nice looking pipe, I know nothing about making them. Would like to know how the bowl is made is it hand carved, turned on a machine? Is an art for sure.

 

[istanbulin]

It's an art, sure. But the artisan is probably very modest, because he hasn't replied to this thread yet

Beautiful pipe. The handmade pipes that I have seen on the forum are very professionally done. I'm very impressed.

I was going to jump in here with a smart ass comment -- funny, I don't have one.

That's not funny, that's down right scary. I'm checking the math on the Mayan calendar again. Could it be off by the number of leap years or something?
