Nice Dublin

[Blue Max]

I don't really like dublins but this one is a beaut!

It's a Scott Klein.

I met Scott at the GKCPC this year. Nice soft spoken guy. He cut me a deal on a pipe. I will say that it is the only pipe I have that I can truly say comes close to perfect. He is an incredibly talented carver. I'm sure that Dublin is no exception.

I think I"ll snap it up. It's only $645.00.

It just so happens, that Brian Levine did an interview with Scott this past Thursday night.

Having mentored under the tutelage of Alex Florov, that Dub just may become highly collectable one day.

Here is the link to the podcast, for those interested in listening.....

Yeah, I should just give up fast food for a week...could probably afford it then! :lol:

But see, if your hobby was vintage shotguns or Jaguars, you'd think $645 was a bargain. Perception.

That Dub shows why I'm a fan of 'em. The Dublin can be longish, with a large canted bowl or short and chunky bordering on billiard with a saddle bit. All a Dublin needs is a bowl wider at top than bottom. And yours has nice proportions and great grain. "Nice" barely covers this baby. The bit seems a tad thick, but that might be just a tad picky.

BMax, that's a nice one. Dublins don't always generate much interest with me, but that one's a looker.

As for cost, if you can afford it (and hopefully enjoy it, provided it smokes good for the purchaser) cost is of no matter... $10 pipes, $1000 pipes... they have all seen their share of appreciators, detractors, and everything in-between.

Smoke what you like and like what you smoke.

I like that shape and size, Klein pipes are supposed to be great smokers.
