It takes a big briar supply to get started. These blocks were quckly all gone.I’ve been regularly smoking my Jack Howell 283 since I received it. I just love it. There is something very special about these classic shapes. Personally, I place hand-feel pretty high on my list of considerations when I buy a pipe. A pipe can be stunningly beautiful, but if I’m not comfortable with it in my teeth or in my hands, it doesn’t get smoked much.
To ensure shape continuity, a template was created.
Each block is precisely cut to capture the 283 dimensions and proportions.I’ve sent individual reminders out to the Passion for Pipes membership, and I want to let all you readers know that the order deadline approaches. There are only five more days left to make your order for the Passion for Pipes Pipe of the Year. The order date cutoff is May 30th. No more orders will be accepted after that date.
