What Is It?

I was smoking it last night. I thought it was a great find.

A great find indeed, what a great crosscut grain.:cheers: :cheers: 

Thanks Andy. If you approve then it is a great find.

Cherrywood!
But well, in the end, you can put tobacco in it and smoke it, so it must be a pipe! 

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I think I'll give it a try to see if you're right. :lol:

Impossible not to appreciate.

Thanks for sharing!

So AJ, you never said if you were the one to snag this beauty.

Snagged and treasured. It was almost too pretty to smoke but a pipe like this one deserves to be used. It's a GBD so it's got to be a great smoker, right?

I appreciate your comment. It's one of my favorite pipes and sharing it adds to the value for me.

OK we have resolved that AJ picked up a beaut. No argument there.

As to nomenclature, now you can't tell the players without a program. Cherrywood? As Stossel says, "Give me a break."

Go back a few years and there is no argument. It is a bent poker. So, why come up with Cherrywood. Doesn't even save letters or add information. In fact, it makes things more confusing.

Looks like some marketing genius compared a pipe those
Cherrywood clunkers and said "Wow, that bent poker looks just like a Cherrywood." It is time to point a finger at such goings on and you know which one.

IT IS A BENT POKER! :cheers: :bounce:  :cheers: 

But, if you have to call it a Cherrywood to be oh so avant garde, it is OK by me. :fpalm:

GBD didn't even list a "Cherrywood" in their shape lists, only a "Poker" so seems to me since it's a GBD you would call it what they did, a Poker ! Kinda like if one owned what others would call a bent Bulldog w/diamond shank made by Dunhill that pipe would be a bent Rhodesian as THAT'S what Dunhill called it. Or as I have, several pipes made by Charatan that they called a "Banker" while the SAME shape is called a "Diplomat" by GBD, Parker and BBB. It's not rocket science, just pipes :evil: :evil:

I have a MM cheryywood pipe. May I call it a GBD please :twisted:
