2008 Ardor Fantasy Christmas pipe

[PipeLeisure]

Well it seems I'm on a roll with winning Ardors on Ebay, I just scored this 2008 Fantasy Christmas pipe and I'm super excited because I have always wanted a Ardor Christmas pipe for my collection. The pipe is a little dirty but in almost new condition...looks like it was sitting on a dusty bookshelf for a few years. I have already contacted Floyd Norwood from Norwood's Pipe Repair and told him I will be sending it over to him for a professional clean, ream, and buff treatment. Here is a picture of the pipe before cleaning...I will post another picture when I get it back from Floyd.

It's the last pipe I'm ever going to buy for the rest of my life :lol!:

Pffffffffffffff right! Even as broke as I am I still find ways...

...also, the stem on that thing is radiant... really festive! :rendeer:

PL, that is a very gorgeous pipe. Congratulations on such a fine addition. :cheers:

Good luck on that promise/threat.....<g>

I was admiring that one myself, nicely done. That will clean up and look like new without too much work. I'm looking forward to seeing the cleaned pix.

That Fantasy line is really growing on me. You need at least one pipe with some flash, right?

Nice! I've always wanted to pick up an Ardor myself, but haven't found the one that's leaped out at me yet. Great acquisition!

Yes it is. I have a similar one on my Boswell swirl. In the shop it was very subdued looking (due to the lighting). Since I'm not really a "red" guy, I was cool with it. Then, on the ride home in sunlight, I saw how radiant it was. Took me back for a few, but now I wonder how I even was considering notbuying it because of the red stem.

Looks like you'll have a great looking smoker there! Congrats!

No worries, I didn't bid, I was just watching various Ardors to get a feel on estate prices.
