The pipe:  BriarWorks Apple

BriarWorks has once again provided us with pipes for our contest.  We keep choosing BriarWorks for their great quality, consistancy, and value.

This pipe is a sandblasted apple with a tortoise shell acrylic bit that retails for $170.

 

The contest pipe is shown (above) on a 3-pipe magnetic stand that will be one of the contest prizes.

The tobacco:  
Coyote - A Joe Lankford Mystery Blend

Coyote is a blend created by our late member and master blender, Joe Lankford. This is one of his private "mystery blends." Even Joe didn't remember what was in it. The blend is a rich balkan that has aged over 20 years
