No. 886 This nicely grained pipe seems very light for its size - a indication that it should be a very good smoker £110.00 |

No. 887 The very pale stain shows that the pipemaker has very little to hide - this pipe is virtually flawless except for a hairline-thin annular ring of darker wood near the rim. I actually consider this an enhancement. £110.00 |

No. 888 There is a small flaw on the rim of this pipe and a couple of pinprick sandpits elsewhere. Otherwise the grain is outstanding - if it were not for those tiny flaws, this would be a very much more expensive pipe. £110.00 |

No. 889 Very good, strongly defined grain on both sides of the pipe make this spectacular. An insignificant surface flaw on the front of the bowl keeps the price down. £110.00 |

No. 892 The military mount on this pretty little piece is made from polished Olive wood, separated from the bowl by an acrylic band. £110.00 |

No. 893 The Oom Paul is not a shape that you'll see every day, mainly because it is one of the more difficult shapes to make. But Marco has made a wonderful job of this one - the drilling is good and the grain is spectacular, especially on the left-hand side. £110.00 Reserved |

No. 894 A fine example of the classic shape, here presented with a saddle stem - quite a rarity in a Moretti pipe. £110.00 |

No. 895 You wait all day for a Moretti with a saddle stem - and then two come along together! I particularly like the tall, egg-shaped bowl on this one. £110.00 |

No. 896 There is a small surface flaw on the underside of the bowl. Otherwise, it is stunning - straightgrain all around the bowl and total birdseye underneath.

No. 898 Marco made the right decision when he decided to make this crossgrain - the entire right-hand aspect of the bowl is a mass of birdseye. £110.00 |

No. 899 With a maximum bowl diameter of nearly 2½", this attractively proportioned pipe is going to keep its cool!

No. 920 I'm not going to attempt to count the sand-spots on this pipe. It has plenty, plus a ½" surface flaw near the base of the bowl (lower photo) - and the bowl is clearly hand shaped, not turned. Who cares? For its size, over 9" long, this is the lightest longshank I have ever seen.

No. 921 To my mind, one of the prettiest designs on this page. Featuring a military mount of natural polished briar, separated from the bowl by a black acrylic band and a slim fishtail mouthpiece. A 360ºbirdseye rim sets it all of nicely. £125.00 |
