At the end of the auction on eBay the pipe was promptly sent by Cilth to its new owner in Bangkok. As expected it smoked very well from the very first time. It now joins a small collection of Talbert pipes in Siam, including the appropriately named morta pipe Betafish (Siamese Fighting Fish) which, to me, is still the most beautiful pipe I've ever seen.Vara-Pojhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548651805904482137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17653383.post-61661401315563454172009-02-26T10:45:00.000-05:002009-02-26T10:45:00.000-05:00Well, at least Rob has learned how to spell your n...Well, at least Rob has learned how to spell your name correctly! Anyway, I have a few of those Algerian wonders from a few years back. They are all tactile tour de forces (so much for Jeff using French words). And they smoke real gud, too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17653383.post-48383577603242284122009-02-23T14:31:00.000-05:002009-02-23T14:31:00.000-05:00Hello Trever,The unsmoked Ligne Bretagne on eBay, ...Hello Trever,<BR/>The unsmoked Ligne Bretagne on eBay, it's mine... ;)<BR/>You're right when you wrote that it's a splendid example of fabulous sandblasting. A lovely pipe, in all regards.<BR/>So why I never smoked it? Well... I always have a couple (let's say a couple, but it's more true to say a dozen...) of unsmoked pipes waiting somewhere for the "good day". And sometimes, this day never come. I really don't know why.<BR/>Some of those pipes are still in a drawer since years, and sometimes I have a look on them. A look with a question: do I shall smoke it one of those days?<BR/>Recently, I answer by the negative concerning this nice LB. Why? Simply because of the horn stem. And then I decide to sell it, because it's too sad to see a nice thing like that have, as life, only a drawer's one...<BR/>But I have another LB. I smoked it frequently and it's not for sale... ;)<BR/>Best regards,<BR/>Cyl ("cilth" on eBay)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14085631689372351782noreply@blogger.com
