Got one of those off of eBay unsmoked a few years back. They smoke similar to a calabash. Eventually it fell victim to a culling, but was fun at the time.
Competition in pipe sales gave rise to all kinds of innovations that haunt us still -- filters, stingers, systems, keystones, multiple chambers, etc. etc. A reminder of when tobacco pipes were a high volume consumer hot commodity stamped with patents and pitched in ads everywhere.
An oddity for sure! It's amazing what a guy in a shed can come up with. And, the ad writer knows hyperbole!
The Falcon pipe from the UK is similar right? No filter on those but they have a little absorbent ring to retain the moisture and some have a stem that acts like a radiator.
Yes, one of the bazillion "system pipes" which sprang up following the two originals: Falcon and Kirsten. Kind of a neat idea, but it requires some compromises regarding the aesthetics! If I had access to one of these Brial pipes, I'd definitely smoke out of it once, just to see what it's like (I already smoke Kirstens and love them).
