Fantastic pipe there from Ben! Beautiful pics at the end of the vid as well. What a great exchange between two excellent pipe makers. Hope the warmer weather and longer days gets there sooner than later Mike. Can't wait to see you light up and enjoy that lovely pipe.
That is truly stunning! Your pipe to him was also wonderful. what a fantastic idea and thank you for sharing it. I hope to own one so nice some day! thanks, gregg
Belated Happy New Year Mike. Stunning pipe from Benjamin as was yours to him. I think you both captured each others tastes perfectly. I was just wondering if their is a big market for solar garden lights in North Sweden during the winter? lol
Dublin-esque indeed, and with that striking bright-colored Calabash-like rim. Very impressive grain: the shape is downright unprecedented, I'm sure. I'm sorry you'll have to wait for so long before being able to draw the first puffs from it, I'm certain that it will prove to be a wonderful smoker.
Congratulations to Ben, he's getting better with every new work.
(I very much enjoyed the map joke, Mike. Quite ingenious!)
@DailyPuffer Thanks Bruno. Not being able to smoke during winter can be frustrating... mostly because I feel like I lose touch with the rest of the community. Then again - smoking outside during winter is not my idea of enjoyment, fun and relaxation... so the self-inflicted abstinence is really not that hard for me.
Yes! The pipe makers pipe swap was a success! We should definately do this again some years into the future. I can't wait to see what we will both be making by then.
whats the name of the song? it was awesome, the pipe was absolutely gorgeous :D

Gratz on the new pipe! What a beauty. Can you smoke your pipe in a slightly warmed up sauna? ;)

@SpainPipe Cheers mate! Hehe! No, during winter we don't have much use for solar garden lights. It's more need for flood lights on 7-feet poles. :)
