Just thought I'd give ya all a look at what I have going right now in the way of pipes before I finish it. It's made from Algerian briar with a hand cut ebonite stem and weighs as much as a breath of air. A big difference from the giants I'm accustom to making.    Just a bit smaller then I led on though.  It actually is 4-1/2"L x 1-1/2"h x 7/8"W x with a 1/2" chamber1" deep. Had some scrap pieces of briar and seeing I'm out of blocks at the time I figured I'd keep myself busy doing this. I think it came out rather well for what it is. Maybe I'll use it as a key-chain or something. Oh! and yes it does have a draft hole and is completely functional pipe............if you don't mind 2 minute smokes. Wink |

Very neat, like my MM mountain cherry & maple Ozark's, but with style, I like brass fittings, rings & stuffs on wooden pipes, but not the popular fad at the moment, easy to work on brass. Some straight Golden Virginia is a good start in a mini pipe , like a mini cigar starter. Also you can smoke a cigar stub ( from hand or holder in a mini pipe, waste not want not ).

It would sell well in Colorado where they have laws. Laws permitting things. Laws legalizing things. Not the clientele you're probably after. Still, I love cuttys; that may be my favorite pipe of yours so far |

Wrong clientele, and to be truthful if I knew that is what it was going to be used for, it wouldn't be for sale. And thank you sir  |

Now since I haven't seen it or stroked it I would say you could get 2 bills for it out side of Arizona. In Arizona you could get the 2 bills plus 100 pounds of ice.

Johnr Well hell, maybe I should rethink my pricing but, in good conscience I couldn't ask that much for such a wee pipe. Hell, I don't ask that much for my standard pipes. No stroking though, touchy feely yes.  |

I have a teeny Kaywoodie Tim RSun gave me that's about that size. It's a forward canted billiard, and would be a belge if the wooden part of the shank was longer and the bowl taller. It's 1930s briar, and comes in the original cardboard box with tissue paper inside. It's pretty cool, but hard to smoke without the thin-walled bowl getting too hot. Also probably a $200 Colorado pipe!
