Well I have been into pipe smoking for a bit now. and all the pipes I have bought have been Machine made ie peterson, sav and what not or if they were carved they were stock shapes. I finally decided to commission a pipe made just for me. I did not quite want a nose warmer but something on the shorter side. I wanted a slight bend and I could not decide between a bulldog and a rhodesian so I kind of combined them both. Also I wanted a cumberland stem. well here are some of the pictures. I am hoping to have it in my hands end of the week or first part of next week.
