Those two are also lovely uberhuberMan! Interesting info on the Bjarne signature piece.

Ah, love that new Cavicchi. A smooth Cavicchi dog like that is exactly what I'm looking for as well, I can see why you didn't pass it up. They are still reasonably priced. I've never owned a Cavicchi, are you pleased how it smokes?

Well, I'm waiting to open a new tin before I fire it up, which should happen in a week or two, but the pipe has a wide open draw, the fit and finish are easily equal to Castello, and the hand feel is very inviting. May be tough to clench, as it's a heavy-ish piece, but I'm a holder anyway.

This thread is great! I'm a big fan of bulldogs and rhodesians and apparently I'm not the only one!

Hey Uber, those are some jealousy inducing pipes! I like the Bjarne the best, but both are killer.
Those graded Bj's are just not easy to find. Great shape on yours, and nice pics as well, thanks! cheers

Thanks fellas! The Bjarne has to be my absolute favorite pipe in my collection. I always keep an eye peeled for Bjarne Signatures, but I've rarely seen one that tickled my fancy. I did find this though:

http://pipesandcigars.com/bjpiofplbr.html

Unfortunately, they're much more pricey that what I paid for mine. Of course, I got mine used, so that helped. I'm putting money aside to hopefully snap up the remaining rhodesians on that page in an attempt at a 7 day set of the shape. Unfortunately, even with the pipes from this page included in my collection, I'd still need to dig up another. There's the one rhodesian that is very close to this shape, but doesn't have the vertical line that the others do. I'm back and forth on whether I would include that one. Brothers, keep your eyes open for me!

All that being said, there are a ton of other great Signatures on that page. Have at(just save the rhodies for me, please)!

Oh yeah. There's also this Bjarne A Grade Sitter. It's pretty sweet, but not for me. Thought I'd let you folks know.

That one is nice, no argument there. But the seller's use of the term 'straight grain' is rather liberal, isn't it?

Those Bjarne Nielsens are lovely. I can see the attraction and there won't be any more. This AX is lovely, good luck getting all those Rhodesians!

Too true!

They also smoke incredibly well. What else would one expect from Ph. Vigen? He did graduate from the school of Former after all.

Thanks for the well wishes! Acquiring them all is still a ways down the road. I just hope that I'm lucky enough for them all to still be there when I'm ready! Razz

Looks like the legendary Bjarne Nielsen's mark. A fine addition to anyone's collection, I don't care who you are! Cool

Good eyes!
Bjarne it is, this one's a "C" grade. Makes me really wonder about the "B", "A" and "AX" grades... Shocked

And Frost, I've got you earmarked for the chicken foot pipe in my will, but if this one floats your boat, I do allow for substitutions Cool

@Simple Man:
Thank you! But have you seen the chicken foot pipe...?

Subject: Re: Bulldog Pics Sat Jan 21, 2012 5:47 pm

Ah yes, forgot about the chicken foot. It was rather epic. Laughing

Harlock, I'm curious, is there any way to know if Tonni Nielsen carved that bulldog? His pipes are bringing some high prices nowdays.
