A fun aspect of the web has been in discovering other pipe smokers who enjoy Ben Wades, and so here are three photos of my other Ben Wades, including another spiral, which seems to be becoming a popular design.
As in the previous spiral, this one is a combination of being smooth and sandblasted. |

At the time, about the late 1970s, this at $80 was my most expensive pipe. Frankly, however, it is kind of normal looking; nevertheless, it is amazingly consistent in terms of smoking.

Among the smaller of my Ben Wades, this pipe has been a favorite for traveling; a somewhat unusual aspect is that its sides are concave.
