KW, thanks for the kind words. This pair was carved by Jack Howell in 2008, Jack is a US pipe carver that I consider among the best of the best. You can find his website here: Jack Howell Pipes

Well I have 2, Irish twins if you will. When I smoke these pipes I deliberately take my time and that makes me a better pipe smoker. Mr. Howell I eternally tip my hat to you for carving this wonderful pair...

I don't have a Ham license but I really enjoy shortwave, and pipes!

Lou you might want to get to Yaks table first, by the pictures of his pipes they're simply amazing. I just spent the last 20 minuets looking at all his pipes in this thread (again), I am thoroughly impressed, I have a feeling Yak's pipes wont last long in Chicago.

I do like cigars and keep a modest humidor, its nice to have fine cigars on hand. Nothing comes close to the pipe though.

Chris, thanks for binging this up, its really hard to imagine just what everyone is going through, they have been in our prayers. We have family in Hawaii, they did make it through the tsunami warnings. I've made it through dozens of snow storms and 2 Gulf Cost hurricanes, but I never...

What sad news. TJ and I would go back and forth about vinyl recordings for days, I sure have missed him over the last few years. Would have been nice to have met him in person.

The way Jack plays that Hammond B3 you'd swear it was alive!

Chris, very nice. Lets us know how she smokes. I have a 56' bulldog as well, welcome to the club!
