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

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

Not too shabby there Rev. I see a lot of room for improvement, and it is almost all tied to keeping your lines crisp and sharp. This criticism applies to stem stummel and shank on both pipes, but it is the biggest thing I see lacking here. I am sure there is more critique to be found but I can give you that much, it is something I am correcting myself.
This is assuming you want critique.
If not, I was just kidding, they're perfect :D

i like how you bring the plateau into the stem.very unique, and the reverse half saddle like stem is cool on that volcano.
nice and weird

Really digging the Egg, love the way you made the saddle work with the lines of the pipe. Not so sure how I feel about the volcano though, I'm not into asymmetry but I do like the plat bottom.
Thus o’er my pipe, in contemplation
Of such things, I can constantly
Indulge in fruitful meditation
And so, puffing contentedly,
On land, on sea, at home, abroad,
I smoke my pipe and worship God.

I LOVE that egg! Not overly fond of the volcano as I have never liked those that had a huge lava spill at the bottom,but I'm kinda loving your freehand stage!
