And Now for Something Completely Different

[stanlaurel]

I just don't know what I think of this. I usually don't grab on to things that look like this.

They say that it is a double barrel. Is there a switch on the stem to toggle between the left and right bowl?

The perfect VaPer pipe: Virginia in the right-hand bowl, and Perique in the left!

The classic testicle pipe.

 

[jkrug]

Completely different indeed!! Good for a nice long smoke I would imagine. ::

 

[menuhin]

The shape somewhat reminds me of ... I prefer not to say...

 

[huntertrw]

Ah, the classic bag-pipe!

 

[jackswilling]

^^^ Can't beat that. Nice.

 

[bernie2]

It is definitely unique! Not sure if I'd be comfortable smoking that or not.

 

[joshb83]

that one would probably be pretty awkward to watch a person light that ...it would seem to need um...support?

 

[okiescout]

joshb83 .it would seem to need um...support? :rofl:

 

[menuhin]

... is there a switch.. .

Switching is super easy: just cover one of the two with two fingers at the rim. In such a way you can also pace and match the burning of tobacco in both chambers.

 

[menuhin]

But if you want to cover both bowls, you may really need to used both hands and four fingers. :nana:

The perfect pipe for smokers named Jock...

Jacques Strape for the French man

It would be interesting to know the carver's motivation.

 

[huntertrw]

"It would be interesting to know the carver's motivation."
Good question. Also, I am curious to know if one bowl is slightly lower than the other?

 

[natibo]

It's a ladies pipe. Duh.

 

[huntertrw]

"It's a ladies pipe. Duh."
So, one bowl is slightly larger than the other?

 

[menuhin]

@ natibo

second your idea, perhaps majority of female and minority of male. Definitely a show piece to display and to show off to male and female friends, and occasionally smoke to explore the fluid dynamics of this special design.

Perhaps it can be featured in the next Pipe Babe Photoshoot. :D

Not sure if I'd go so far as to do VA in one and perique in the other. Can you even imagine the surprise old get if you lost your light on the VA side? Lol
