Just found this thread and this is amazing. I don’t hear many people talking about the cannonball but it’s probably my favorite factory shape. You’re the first person I’ve found who love the cannonball as much (well, clearly much more) than me. I’m hoping to buy one eventually but haven’t found the right stem shape, stem color, and stain combination.Thank you Cosmic! Here's the gang.......... so far. Hahaha!

Do you have a pic of all of them together? I’d also love to see your full collection of pipes.
Thanks for the pics! Looking forward to seeing them all in one photo.I truly fell for these pipes. Good size bowl and feels good in the hand. I should take a picture of all of them together. Maybe this weekend. This is how I keep them for now. and the pipes I smoke stay next to my desk as shown and rotate them as needed.

Yes, it feels amazing in the hand and hanging from the mouth! I ended up returning the one I got from SP (light stain with coffee tapered stem) because it was much brighter than I was wanting. I’m on the hunt for a dark stain with tortoise tapered stem now. BW said the tapered stems are not being made at the moment but they will be in the future.
Can’t wait to finally try smoking it. It seems very wise how they drill the pipe to get the airway lined up to pass a pipe cleaner.
Pipe Design Concepts: The Notch
Explaining the NotchWith a few exceptions, the drilling in pipes are a series of connected, straight holes whether the pipe is straight or bent. This can pose some challenges in pipes that are significantly bent. The obvious necessity of making sure that the airway stays on the inside of the...briarworksusa.com
