Sasquatcho "Collection" KKKK

Post by Sasquatch »

I got asked for a medium sized 65-type bent billiard, extra heavy walls, smooth.

First pipe, not so smooth.

But I got to try my Sea-Rock tool. That's a lotta work.

Next one (actually my first choice, the second was a backup cuz ya never know) worked pretty good. It came out all weird and stripey but what the hey.

I used to think that this was an ugly form of bent billiard, and in a way, it is, compared to the tight, sparse Dunhill type shaping. But there's actually some neat stuff going on with these that makes them a very good pipe. You can drill them perfect with absolutely no fudging of the airways, they hang nice, and that 1/2" of briar really makes for nice smoking. They don't even get warm.

The rusticated one would look fab with a brass band!

well I suppose if one were to smoke to excess it would be a sin

"but what would be smoking to excess?"

Why smoking two pipes at once of course

For a brief second there I thought you were dedicating a pipe to the KKK. Then, I saw the extra K.

I think that Sasquatch Rock is pretty, pretty, pretty sweet. I really like the dark/light contrasty combo and that rustication is out of this world. Did you use a tiny pickaxe? And what does that sucker weigh in at?

I dig the first one, even though I am not partial to the shape, with that stem and brilliant rustication I kinda dig it
