| Very cool; thanks for posting... I am not the biggest nosewarmer fan, but I find myself slowly warming up to the idea... that one looks like a beauty! |

| Looks grand, and it doesn't have a taper bit that can be a problem with nosewarmers. Great snag!

| A stupid question... is there any benefits for a pipe being a nosewarmer except the obvious savings in the weight and smaller leverage to twist your jaw? I really like the stain and the blast on this pipe, but I just do not like the lines - just like on most of the nosewarmers in general. Perhaps I've just not acquired the taste yet, felt the same with pokers when I first saw them but now that's my favorite shape  |
