+ $15 shipping ???

That is cool, but the real question is can @chasingembers clench it? ?

A real "Clencher" coming in just shy of 13 pounds!!!! They should pay for your plane ticket and back to pick it up.

Being meerschaum its much lighter than it looks. I probably could, but it would probably snap here.

This is funny, the same conversation about the same pipe popped up on another forum about a month ago.?

What? Nobody bought it at that price?! ?

It's actually quite smaller than I thought.

And lighter?

And lighter?

Sumbitch is almost 13 lbs! ?

 

[Waning Embers]

And lighter?

Nah, weight is about what I thought, just imagined a larger chamber. It's just under twice the length of my Kenan skull but the Kenan has a larger chamber.

This is beyond the pale of mere mortals too comprehend. They want roughly $175K for the thing and then want to charge you $15 to ship it. Reminds me of the story of the guy during the Depression who tried to sell pencils for $1M. A guy walked up to him and said "You aren't going to sell many pencils at that price". And the guy replied, "I don't have to".

Hold up. Are you saying you can clench almost 6kgs? I’d be proud of myself if I was happy clenching 100g

Or how about MSO's jaws, Cosmic's looks, Salt's cellar, Hoosier's green thumb and Embers' general outlook on life...would that work?

EDIT: Just realized I left out the wisdom...and Jay as well, so I guess you'll have to assign that to him.....

It's a very ambitious piece, and it took a lot of skill to produce, but on close inspection a lot of the carving is crude.
