Well I was checking Marty Pulvers website looking to purchase a new pipe when I started reading his home page update. He normally updates it with random things having to do with pipes and his life. Today was an interesting read about this Russian pipe website that someone sent him the link to. I thought I would share it with you guys because these pipes are utterly amazing. Some of these pipes literally made my jaw drop. Truthfully, it is impressive that they could even carve half of these pipes. The pipes range from classic shapes to very exotic ones. I thought you guys would enjoy viewing these pipes as much as I did. Here is the link, scroll down past the Russian paragraphs to see the galleries. Here are a few of my favorites.

JaKaacH, is that briar carved to look like bamboo? Cool!
[Reply]

I think so. I can see some grain in it that looks like briar and not bamboo. I also like how the stem is blended in to look like bamboo too.
