INFO! 2024 Badger and Blade LE pipe

[Whisky]

Come one come all! After a long wait and much anticipation here, finally, is the 2024 B&B LE pipe! This year we're going back to the beginning of Briar pipes to a shape that many think is the "original" pipe shape. Chris Morgan of Morgan Pipes has agreed to produce a well proportioned Dublin which he both enjoys making and smoking. Many of us have and smoke his "Bones" line of pipes and I'm really excited to have a pipe made by Chris in my rotation. Price is $270 which includes U.S. shipping and PP fees. Shipping to Europe is a flat $45. Depending on interest Chris may be willing to do a couple of different finishes but the default finish will be a black blast. Due to current situations in the world good Briar is getting expensive and hard to source so Chris would like a count of members that will purchasing a pipe and he will then order the briar and start making the pipes. I'm going to leave the order period open until Saturday June 1. Payment will be through PayPal G&S [email protected] and is due on June 1st. When you order please include your username as well as real name/shipping address. If, while carving the pipes, he comes across exceptional pieces of briar that will make a good smooth or contrast blast finish they will be available on a first come first served basis for an additional price.

Dimensions of the pipe are:
Length: 6"
Height: 2"
Width: 1.5" at the rim
Chamber: 20mm tapered to airway, 1.75" deep.
The stem is Chris's proprietary Acrylic.

Please copy and paste the list below adding your username, number of pipes you would like to purchase and if you would be interested in any other finishes.

Yes, and in length and other dimensions, shape, and acrylic stem, it ticks a lot of my boxes.

I'm going to pass on this year's LE, though it looks like a nice pipe, just not special enough for me to consider it to be a "must have". Enjoy your new pipes gentlemen!

That's a good question!

I'm going to leave the order period open until Saturday June 1. Payment will be through PayPal G&S [email protected] and is due on June 1st.

So is the order window open now, or do we pay on/immediately following June 1?
How do we place an order?
