24 hours later, and no comment from johnlawitzke. It was meant in good fun, John. Hope I didn't offend. |

6 grand would buy me a nice Viking river cruise in Europe.
Not a hard decision to make for me.

But think of the taxes you'll pay, Charlie!

While tempting, I'm currently saving up for Chicago. Plus, even I have an upper limit on what I’ll pay for a pipe. 😉
It is a beautiful pipe, but I could buy 4 new Tom Eltang Snail grades and have enough left for a new Dunhill Shell. Or a couple new Tom Eltang Snail+M grades. Or over 800 MM Legends…

I figured if John doesn't want it, my wife might grab it for my Easter present...now that we know the price, I'll have to be happy with those black jellybeans again this year.

It is a very nice pipe but not a pipe in my world. I like cobs and less expense pipes I can put in my front pocket and take to work.

He shoulda painted it white, named it the "White Whale" and sold it for $100,000. Some sucker is out there waiting. |

It just stands up there on it's own, no need for one.

I just can't see myself smoking something like that. For what it is and who made it, that’s a fair price. But as Ron has observed, I think there’s a reason why it’s still unsmoked. |

Yeah, it does nothing for me, along with some of the wild Japanese artisan pipes. |

At some point it’s more a sculpture in briar then a pipe. That’s definitely the former.
