i've heard of cherry wood pipes...can't say i've ever smoked one

Re: pipe builders Cherry

Re: pipe builders Cherry
 

Let us know how it smokes.

Re: pipe builders Cherry
 

smokes a little hot but good air flow devoted this one to aromatics smoking some amo 2008

Re: pipe builders Cherry
 

That is a nice and unique grain.

Also nice freehand work from what the photos show.

EDIT -
Bottom photo, to the left of your thumb, is that a defect/pit in the wood? Or just an odd reflection or grain causing it to look that way in the photo?

very nice pipe there. In answer to your original question there was a french company that made cherry wood pipes for many years and they were great smokers on account of their naturally sweeter taste. However there are not many left due to their propensity for burnouts.

more cherry burl pipes

Re: pipe builders Cherry
 

My wife bought me a Cherry Burl from TC Fuller and I have absolutely loved it. Had it for about a year now. My buddy's wife got one from TC about 2 years ago and loves hers. This one is mine.

Yours looks fantastic! Glad to hear it smokes well! Glad to see more pipe makers experimenting with new woods.

Mostly Ropp didn't go to the manufacturing trouble that Eli has. They were very common in europe, like our cobs, maybe, until post-WWII.

Re: pipe builders Cherry
 

sorry bout the weird post was trying to but my eli's pipes facebook page on there but sadly didnt work

Re: pipe builders Cherry
 

Almost every maker offers cherry-wood pipes. I don't own any, but were I shopping for a pipe and the cost, shape and capacity were right, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a cherry-wood pipe.
