New pipe and new podcast!
The new pipe above is called Specter. The stem is solid reddish ebonite with a black delrin tenon. The end of the stem is rounded in an old fashioned way. The coloration is nothing short of bizzare. A ghost like whiteness envelopes over shades of peach and tinges of green with a blush of red towards the shank. Stamped with the Monstrosity logo and the year (12.) $130 shipping included. Just click the donate button to your right and put the name of the pipe and your address in the donation info, or shoot me an email with any questions via the "Write to Us" link on the left side of the screen towards the bottom.
There are only 9 of these "little deaths" running around and only a few left! Stamped with the Monstrosity "M" and their specific number (1/9, 2/9, etc.) they are indeed limited and collectible. They are all small pipes made of air cured italian briar and fitted with the ever gnarly Monstrosity maimed ebonite stem.
Each is also outfitted with a super durable delrin tenon. Perfect little beasts for your collection. They come with their own signed and numbered wooden casket with latch. Their little feet (well, stem) could not be folded up inside the box due to rigor mortis, so the undertaker had to cut notches out of each burial box! How fun!

I met Bob in CT while I was on a press check for work. We landed on the topic of pipes and he mentioned that he used to work in the tobacco fields as a kid. Click here to listen to the podcast or listen at your leisure by subscribing in iTunes.
