That's very cute. (Can I say that about a pipe?)

Seriously, I love it. I tend to gravitate toward smaller pipes.

I love the subtle asymmetry. Excellent job!!

That ferrule is crazy... I like it a lot.

Something about the shape is bugging me. The stummel is wonderful. But I just don't quite dig the stem for it somehow - don't know if it's the length (imagine the pipe with about half that long of a stem).... It just seems a little stummel-heavy to my eye somehow, and I'm not sure how to "fix" it.... but it's a damn nice pipe, and I'm being a fussy old curmudgeon.

Thanks ... all my pipes have looked this nice.. even the first one.. it was just my camera was bad at dipicting how good they were...

seriously.. thanks.. and Sas.. I can't disagree with you.. the only thing I could think of would be to make the flare on the mouthpiece oval to match the stem.. but decided against it..as there's not a lot of wiggle room on one this small.. also thought about a shorter length mouthpiece.. then there's not a lot of space left between the button and the flare...

soo.... decided to leave as is.

Enjoy
