Captain Bob's new "Hayes" pipe

Sweet pipe there Capt'n, like the imbellishment a lot. Hope it smokes well for ya.

Love 'em every time. May you smoke it in good health for many years to come!

Usually I wouldn't go for a Canadian (pipe!), but that one is actually rather fetching.

Thank you! It shines up beautifully with carnuba wax and my polishing machine. Actually, just got the grinder last weekend and have been polishing all my pipes. Can't believe the transformation. Of course, I took off the grinding wheels and replaced with buffing and polishing wheels. Hey, anybody need two brand new grinding wheels? I'll never use them unless I get real mad at a pipe and grind it to hash! Not likely, though.

I'd take those grinders off your hands, but I have no idea what to use them for. Maybe I could trim the cats claws with 'em? :) Nah, probably not such a fantastic idea.

Perhaps Jusin (sparks/sparky) would be interested. He's a budding pipe maker with limited tools for the trade.

I like the bowl shape very much. It's Egg-shape, like a Belge, I think. That elk-horn insert shines like silver. His pipes can be seen on a link from the C&D web-site.

The bowl has eight sides (panels) and lots of capacity. Thanks for the compliment. The cost was $300 USD. Not too much for this kind of workmanship and quality. Bob Hayes said he went through four blocks to get the one that worked. And, it was a pipe of my specifications, entirely. He said he considered it a challenge with the sides and length at seven inches. I am a happy puffer!

A side note: Bob Hayes is Craig Tarler's (C&D President) son-in-law. I'll bet he gets his C&D blends pretty cheap.

Craig visited Bob when my pipe was finished and emailed me that it really looked like a winner. I was so excited and it was finished in six weeks. I was expecting two to three months. So the week it took for it to get to me in the mail seemed like an eternity of anticipation.

The grinders are his if he wants them. I offered them to my wife to do her finger nails but she said "NOT"!

Bob,
I know a couple of our office gals who could use those wheels,
to sharpen the fangs and claws!
Regards,
Dave

is a beautiful piece of work, Bob. I like the creative idea.

Plus 'Hayes' isn't too bad of a name either....

The picture doesn't really do this seven-incher justice. It is a nice handful but parks just fine in the mouth as long as you don't walk into any walls!

I might be interested... I need to get my ass here more often.

Their from Subway and the RB & Cheese is spoken for.

Weren't those the girls at the dances in school that would wait until a slow song came up and...then when the song was about to end you had to quickly start thinking about baseball, your grandma naked, or the cheese under a sweaty fat guy's boobs but that never worked so you when the lights came up you had to shuffle off the dance floor bent over like Quasimoto to avoid public embarrasment and ridicule. Or maybe that was just me...
