It finally arrived today. Abi was the coolest to deal with. An absolute gentleman and a great guy.
The pipe smokes as well as it looks. Thanks to those who recommended his pipes to me. As a history teacher, it is awesome to be smoking a pipe made from wood that is older than America!
Maybe thats what drew me to the pipe, my affinity for Lady leg :lol:
It smokes as smoothly as it looks. It is smooth as can be.
My only con is I did not take into consideration the size of the mouth piece. I am a chomper of the worst kind. I prefer to hold the pipes in my mouth with my teeth. This is challenging considering the lines of the pipe.
Other than that, I can not recommend Abi enough.
This is my 2nd Olive wood and I think I might continue to explore the "alternatives" to briar.
Wow, that one's really a beauty! I've gotta give it to him, that's one of the first olive wood pipes that's really captivated me. Congrats on the purchase and a new, lifelong friend!
I love this pipe! Having been to Israel on six different occasions, and making pipes myself, I've often considered using olive wood. I may have to ramp up the time schedule on that. Also, I never heard of this pipe maker. I'll have to look him up.
