[alpascia]

Dear pipesmokers, thank you for your time! We, Al Pascià and Gubbels Pipes, are proud to present Curvy – the most compact pipe for a cool & dry smoking experience

Interesting little pipe. When will they be available for purchase and what will the price be?

 

[aldecaker]

I'm pretty fond of nosewarmers. If it's light enough to clench comfortably, I'd be in. Never smoked a calabash or reverse calabash, but the design has always intrigued me. It definitely is curvy, and I have to say, I like the fat bottom! :wink:

Interesting pipe, when will it be available and I love all the finishes except the ebony/dress.

Alternatively

This is actually one of the few Neptune designs I would like to have, despite it's diminutive size.

Hmm... If Briarworks were to make a Reverse Calabash Lumberman, now that would be something we've never seen before.

Maybe make it a Reverse Calabash Lumberman Stack to keep the proportions in line. Add an inch to the stem, 3/4" to the shank and 3/4" to the bowl hight. Perfect pipe.

I think ya got a winner right there!

That shape is very appealing, keep us posted on the availability.

Alternatively alternatively, if you just like the shape Gubbels already makes something similar without the extra chamber.
But I agree the Curvy is an attractive shape and design.

As one of the seemingly few non-Italian factories out there I definitely need to pick up some Gubbels pipes.

I would like to like them , but I don't dig the shape.

 

[okiescout]

I would like to dig them, but I am the shape!
Years ago I watched a video of dog owners and their pets and I laughed off more of my butt than I did going to weight watchers with my wife. I try to remember some of this when I get excited about a new pipe. :rofl:

 

[ssjones]

The Big Ben pipes are filter pipes. (the Curvy line, not)

 

[gloucesterman]

Keep us informed about availability and pricing. Nice shape, I like it.

 

[alpascia]

thank you for your interest. Al Pascia' Curvy Pipes will be presented next week for the first time at InterTabac 2015 in Dortmund and within few weeks they will be available on the market and of course in our website.

I just happened to listen to episode 106 of the Radio Show last night, and the interview with Elbert Gubbels is great. It sounds like those guys are at the top of their game right now.

And almost as importantly Gubbels has a long history with nosewarmer style pipes, so the Curvy is very fitting from a historical perspective.
The straight shank Curvy looks fantastic as well.
