"but rev, isn't smoking a sin?"

"but what would be smoking to excess?"

Why smoking two pipes at once of course

These two are magnificent! The finish is absolutely outstanding!

Overall, these are just very very nice pipes. The one remark I could make is that in my opinion they are a bit long to be true nosewarmers... But that's just me I guess.

Both pipes are very beautifully shaped, but they don't strike me as nose warmers, proportion-wise. They are more like small pipes.

They are beautifully done, but nose warmers usually have normal bowl proportions with a severely shortened and fat shank. So they look fat and short.

Yours look more like very nicely proportioned small pipes.

That first one is gorgeous, just gorgeous! I too love the stain, deep contrast. Great stuff.

Yeah I agree, I wouldn't call these nosewarmers. They're simply small gem-of-a-pipes. I like the grain and finish work!
