Something I've never seen before. A Ser Jacopo pipe that's bent 90 degrees to the left. Aptly named by the maker "Insanus"

This Ebay dealer from Italy has lots of interesting pipes at reasonable prices. I bought a beautiful Viprati natural bent poker from him that I'm very happy with

It's made for right handed surgeons at work in the operating arena.

Even if I were a female smoker, I wouldn't do that one......

That's a weird SJ. Looks more like something Mummert would do. The other one gives a whole new slant to pipe porn.

The Insanus line has been around for a while. From pipes that look broken to ones that are oddly distorted. Very interesting engineering on them all.

Actually Dunhill has made a pipe similar to the left-leaning one. Unfortunately I can't remember where I saw the photo.

Found it..! It's on Al Pascias homepage, model C208.

(I haven't yet found out how to post images).

I've held that pipe at a show. Good choice if you drive a convertible.

Don't think it will pass a cleaner.

I'd bet ounces to pounds it will take a cleaner to the chamber!
And, yeah, it should be good for a bunch of Perique and or Latakia!

Seems like a bother to light and smoke one of these pipes. Though it would be fun at a pipe club or show. I can think of no benefit or purpose otherwise, can you?

Would it be wrong to coin the term "cheek-warmer"? I like the Dunhill version better because a half-turn of the stem turns it from a left-leaner to a right-leaner. Versatility!

Good point! And it's a Dunny.
Either pipe would be very good for an archer.
