Wow, that pipe is bigger than I thought.
It really isnt a clencher, that is for sure. There is a lot of bowl weight due to the pressed meerschaum liner.

this is my Nording Signature , i customized, i had it about 18 years was going to sell it but decided to rusticate it a bit more, and polish up the mouthpiece- it is actually a thick piece of briar
Nice pictures! Cool to see it being done by a member!
since this photo, i have put a gold nugget finish on it, i will polish them in a couple of days

Initiating my new self made Calabash system pipe with some Peretti's #333 cubed cut Burley, smokes like a dream...
thats a mighty big pipe you got there.
Sitting out behind SWMBO's sister's house, enjoying some McClelland 35th Anniversary Stave Aged Virginia in my leather-wrapped, meerschaum-lined franken-Derby. Which is to say, an estate Derby pipe that had been converted to a Carey Magic Inch system (which they'll apparently do to any pipe you send in for a smallish fee).
Now that there is the type of facial hair that says "I smoke a pipe"
At a Derby party Saturday night. Not a good picture of either of us, but what the hell...

Great new photos! Good to see some new faces.
That it is.I have to say, the second bowl of the McC Virginia was much tastier in my B&B 2012 LE Tinsky pipe. Which, I guess, shouldn't be too surprising. It doesn't get as much use as it deserves; I'm much less nervous about lugging around a $10 eBay estate pipe in my gear bag than an irreplaceable $200 Mark Tinsky.
