bought it so far back I cann't remember ? car boot, garage sale, Flea Market ?
apart from the bowl takes a fair ammount of Tobacco to fill
i know nothing about it other than it smokes Great

Adding ISH to something is like the common mans way of fixing a problem .. lol . I would say that is BulldogISH and quite a cool looking pipe !!

Smokes no different than a billiard to me.

Sweet Mary and Joseph , man .... I bet that is such a wonderful pipe

Covet, I covet. Showed that Jacopo to my Mastro and now it's crying about being lonely. They belong together....

I used to like the bulldog, but I cannot get into pipes with geometric shapes outside circle and oval. Square shank billiards don't do it either.

My style is drifting toward the organic shaped Danish inspired offerings, but I still have a soft spot for traditional English shapes.

OK I'm just a simple sod (i.e. no anorak ) and for me 'beauty is in the eyes of the beholder' so if a pipe looks good and fits the hand well
I might buy it and see how it smokes, if it doesn't smoke well I'll save the stem and 'bin it'
I've no interest in the maker or shape just how it smokes for me. Heres's a few I' ve kept

I'm a traditionalist by nature so anything modern or artistic is not for me. While I appreciate the endeavor it takes to make such a pipe, never in a million years.



Oh and no bright or garish colors. I'm a child of the 80s so I had my fill of neon and pastel colors.

The pipes are great, but I meant the rack! Rustic, handmade, repurposed and killer!!

I've always planned on taking a picture of my collection but that means I'd have to pull it out and put it all away. Lazy!
