Yes, I know this isn't a proper author shape as defined by the Great
Beards of the hobby. But, I can't think of it as anything else -
It just looks like something that a noted novelist would puff
contentedly while thinking over his next few pages. Positives: BIG pipe (This could be good or bad). A big pipe for a big smoker. I was very torn about what to grade this pipe - between being flawless enough to leave unstained and having a really nice grain pattern, it probably could have been a grade 4. But, it was hard as a rock and I wasn't able to get the sort of blast depth that I had hoped for, and it has one small sandpit still visible on the shank. I dunno. Someone will be getting a very nice example of a grade 3, I think. The ring pattern is beautiful and the pale color should darken wonderfully through the years as it is smoked. Open draw, passes a cleaner easily, yadda yadda.. Negatives: One shank sandspot that should vanish after a couple smokes' worth of darkening.
