Description:
This large capacity Poker has a glass like finish on the crisp round
surface. Although the Poker may look like an easy shape to make, it is
most difficult to get the cylindrical surface to match up as shown in this
piece. The fine varying grains are highlighted with a medium contrasting
finish. The pipe will sit on the bottom of the bowl on a flat surface, and
it is balanced well for a straight pipe. A fine leather sleeve is included with the pipe.
Condition:
100/100 This pipe is is Mint Condition and has not been smoked.

About the maker:
Chheda Pipes are produced in Columbus,
Ohio by Premal Chheda and Bill Shalosky in the Smokers' Haven Workshop.
Each pipe is hand made from the finest materials available. Premal has
been making pipes since 2003 on a limited basis, and Bill Shalosky started under
Premal's guidance early in 2007. Both makers have experience in tooling
and woodworking, and they have honed their skills to make the best possible pipe
in terms of construction and finish. With his experience as a high grade
pipe supplier, Premal has a very strict quality control for each and every
Chheda Pipe. The stems are hand-cut from the finest German Ebonite, and each pipe is marked "CHHEDA USA" and with a
three digit stamp in the order it was made. The pipes are graded in one of
the following two categories:
The first category is for standard shapes and is only stamped with a letter
designating the size. They are priced according to size and finish in the
following order from lowest to highest. Black Sandblast, Medium Sandblast,
Tan Sandblast, Dark Contrast Smooth, Light Contrast Smooth, & Natural
Smooth. The sizes are XS = Extra Small, S = Small, M = Medium, L = Large,
XL = Extra Large, XXL = Extra Extra Large, TITAN = Anything larger than XXL.
The second category is for pipes with either a unique shape or exceptional grain
and are stamped with only a number starting with 1 and ending with 10. (1 being
the lowest priced, and 10 being the highest priced.) Extraordinary pipes
of the best quality will be marked with only a special stamp and priced
individually.
