My quest for a few larger pipes to smoke English blends continues.
As a big fan of Michael's work, I had been watching an ebay auction for a 2013 unsmoked Michael Parks' LC billiard for the last week.
And I was delighted when I won the auction.
The dimensions are 8-1/8” long, 2-5/8” tall, 2-1/8" wide, with a 15/16" chamber diameter.
The pipe weighs in at 131 grams.

Whoa, Nellie! Is that a pipe or a bludgeon?

Looks like he forgot to leave any sandpits. Gorgeous pipe. Too big for me (and my pipe budget), but should go great with Latakia blends.

Very nice. When I saw the title "billiard", I almost passed on the link, as biliards are not my style. However, bents are my favorite.

I think about 30 guys are driving the entire market for magnum+ sized pipes. It's silly to me but to each there own.
As you see in the pipe above from an artistic point of view they can be quite beautiful.

Now in response to the ubiquitous question, "how many pipefulls in a 50g tin of tobacco," you can firmly and authoritatively proclaim "TWO!"
