Thanks for all the effort, your time really is appreciated :-) and I agree that Boswell seems like a good choice in the end.

I may be in for this depending on final price and style. I should be good for around $100 and would prefer and apple or brandy with a quarter bend, not sandblasted
[Reply]

That was much quicker than I expected! :-)

hey I waited at least an hour...Oh and a fairly large bowl and take the pipe to weigh not much more that 2oz at the very most
[Reply]

lol, listen to the FNG coming in here being all picky. :-)

I'm an easy guy to please, but think I would smoke a pipe much more often if it was a sitter personally. I hate trying to smoke outside and finding a place to sit it down if I step away from my chair.

hey I am the FNG and my opinion is important, haha, I blame it on all the fricken pipe guys at my B&M
[Reply]

guys, I've gotten behind a bit on this, school took every free moment this last week

I will try to get em on the phone soon
[Reply]

Just wondering what the status is on this, any change? And trust me, I know what busy with school is, too. Finals kill me. Good luck :-)
[Reply]

no rush at all man, school is obviously first.
[Reply]

Obviously?

1. Women 2. Sex 3. Pipes/Cigars 4. Booze 5. Family 6. School

This means after he thinks about women and has sex he will handle the CA pipe. Then have a drink with the family. After all that then comes school :-)
[Reply]

Maybe the first two are with a teacher thus moving #6 to the #1 spot

ooook, I finally called, spoke with JM for about 10 minutes

here's what we need to do.

decide on a definite shape, and I will post up a few of his pipes to vote on, majority will rule (will be poker and apple choices).

decide on an abbreviation for the pipes (ie C.A.P.F or somesuch). he will have every pipe dated the day made (as he does with every pipe). Also, the pipes will have the initials of the purchaser on them. so we will all have a unique pipe in that sense.

he said he would be willing to make up to 25 (and if necessary could make a few more later as needed). so once it's all decided we can do a first come first serve sign up, and go from there. So it may be in the interest of those who smoke pipes regularly to keep an eye on this.

some will be smooth and some rusticated (we'll have that as a part of the vote to figure out how many of each)

additionally, he said once it's all settled and he has a shape to start working on, it'll take a few weeks to get them all made, but they will ship out as completed.

they won't be identical, but they will all be the same shape. I think it will be nice to let JM do his thing and be creative within the confines of the shape.

Lastly, figure a poker shape to run in the neighborhood of $100 bucks, and an apple to probably be 85-ish.

ok, I'll work on a new thread with pictures to vote on, and we'll hammer out the details there. Feel free to voice questions or concerns here :-)

I live in Europe, so I'll have to find a way to make the payment for the pipe. My wife's parents live in the US, but they are quite old and donīt speak perfect english.

Could someone be so kind to ask the Boswells their internacional bank account number (IBAN) so that when the time comes I could transfer the money directly to them?

Thanks.
[Reply]

I imagine you can pay by credit card when the time comes
[Reply]

ok, that would solve my problem.
thanks

Tim... You rock Bro! Thanks again for heading this up. To say the least, I'm ecstatic to see how the one I end up with turns out.
[Reply]

I know I just found this but I would be interested for sure if this hasnt filled up yet. I am still new to pipe smoking so I am not real set on any shape or finish although my girlfriend prefers my smooth finished pipes.
[Reply]

I just got back to this forum recently after a few months hiatus from the internet. I hope I'm not too late to join in the festivities! I'm interested - but I'll wait to see the example pics (and my money status at that time) to say for sure.

Traveler,

It has all been decided already. There probably is still time to get in on it.

Here is the order thread:
