Tim thanks again for setting this up, glad we could help out and hope you enjoy the pipe.

She has arrived!!!

I love how mine turned out. A nice, dark and rich color. The smooth parts have a mute grain definition and it goes wonderfully with the rusticated sections. When I talked to Dan originally I told him to just do with it what they wanted, that I just wanted some smooth.

Anyway, ON TO THE PICTURES!

What came in the box:

Now if it would only stop raining long enough for me to sit outside and enjoy a bowl in it...

Oooooooohhhh....that's nice! :-)

Nice!
I like the shape, the way the rim is cut, and love those thick walls... The partial rustication is cool, too.
I'm just not crazy about the stem, but I bet it will smoke like a champ.

Oh, boy, this is exciting... how much did it cost, Seth?

How did your pipe ship? UPS, Fed-Ex, or USPS? I live out in Oregon, so if it was sent UPS or Fed-Ex I may have to wait awhile, but if it was USPS then hopefully I can get it tomorrow or Monday. Also, does anyone know if on a "smooth" option of this pipe, the top of the bowl will still be rustic like the one posted? I love the top part being rustic, but was hoping the rest would be smooth on my pipe.

Also, I love the shape of the pipe, and the flat bottom for easy resting.

I kind of like that stem, mostly because it isn't the most popular choice out there.
If I remember correctly he charged me $118 for it, but I don't have my check book handy and they still haven't cashed my check.

It came to me via UPS, and I think they ship everything that way. For me though, UPS is faster for packages coming from outside of Virginia, but USPS is faster in-state.

It is supposed to be sunny (and hot) tomorrow, so hopefully I will get a chance to start breaking her in.:-)

that looks great, I'll be curious to see how everyone's turns out

I wish I had a tracking number, would love to know where my pipe is at. Getting that pipe today would be GREAT!

Great looking pipe.
The UPS truck came rolling down the street yesterday....But he didn't stop..:-)
Hope he stops Monday...

Curses left the house for half an hour and missed the UPS guy. Going to have to wait till tomorrow. On a side note 94 degree weather sucks.

I like how 2/3 of the rim is natural plateau burl texture and the rest is smooth.
That Christmas Cookie blend smells great...:-)
[Reply]

So far the pipes look great! I can't wait to get the call. :-)

Just a quick note to say that i received my pipe today. I plan to post pics tomorrow or the next day.

My pipe was "all smooth". I guess the only change I would make is to have a rusticated bowl like JaKaacH. Overall I love the pipe, and that would be the only small change I would make. The size is larger then I thought from the pictures (which makes me happy since my old pioneer pipe is too small).

Just some info for other members:
Pipe Cost: $99
Shipping: $11

Also picked-up 4 ounces of Northwoods, on top of my free sample of Christmas Cookie, for $14.

My twins arrived today!!!! I absolutely love both of them. I snapped a few pics that I'll post later tonight. I'm smoking some Sweet Tea in the rusticated one right now. Boswell pipes definitely smoke like a champ!!!
