Yeah, cleaning might take some work. I may have to pick up a 6 to 8 inch one tomorrow.
Post a photo of you having a smoke...

I just ordered the 8inch Sherlock.
Aaron, let us know if you find a pipe cleaner solution for the 16".

Cup O' Joes has pipe cleaner in a 50' roll.
Hmmm. In that case maybe I should have ordered the 16" clay....
I will check that out- probably save money in the long run.

Classic, another great shot.Here's a pic of my new bow tie (1st) and my new Peterson Sherlock Squire.
The maker of the bow tie is Tommy Hilfiger. I bought a few cheap bow ties today. I'd like to get comfortable with the technique, and then start to collect some nice ones. Hopefully I'll get the technique down pretty quickly.
Rob,

We started a BowTie Tuesday at school. About 1/2 of the male faculty wear them on Tuesdays. Check out Beau Ties Ltd (Vermont) and Bow Tie Club (Maryland). I just got a bunch of British Rep stripes from BowTieClub and have a few MC Escher designs from BeauTies. Both have great ties. Their prices are about double or triple what you paid (I picked up a Tommy tie for $18), but they don't fray like the cheaper ones do. The result of your technique looks good to me. A perfect bow tie is a clip-on or banded pre-tied. A slightly imperfect tying is a sign a hand tied bow -- and therefore the height of class (or that's my supposition). Once you get the hang of it, they'll be easier than a regular necktie.
Also check out OoOtie out of Boston. I just got a tweet that they are running a 20% sale during the coming blizzard.

The tie and the pipe look sharp, heck even made for eachother! I also have had a fondness for bowties but I don't wear the right type of collars shirts for them all that often. I should look into some wardrobe additions!
Rob I showed off your pipe to some buddies and they are rather jealous, I can't wait to show them mine so they can be doubley jealous of all this Peterson awesomeness!

Sweet 'stache. I had a pretty decent Van Dyke going, but shaved it off on Feb 1st. SWMBO was actually disappointed and wants it back, so I think I'll set about growing another one. The pointed goatee with curled up 'stache was sweet.
