Not that I would ever have one of these, but the bowl size is a tad over 1” deep and .7” wide, which is about the same dimensions as most if Nordings pipes and a few other makers. So, it’s not really a small bowl, just looks like a paraphernalia pipe.

You could smoke pipe tobacco in one of these when "blending in" with the hip crowd - everyone will think you're smoking "herbs"

I was talking with a friend who was on medications which gave him side-effects.
He had the shakes and a (slight) loss of balance but laughed and said "the cool thing is when I'm at a party and people come up to ask him "what shit" he was on ?

Yeah ! That might work ... hmmm ...

It's also geared toward the endangered Orange Pipe-Smoking Canadian Bear who requires fast on-the-run smokes during the summer out-of-cave months, while out stealing picnic baskets.

Is that like the Canadian version of Cocaine Bear?

Does anyone like it? I do not know. Do I? Certainly not.

I wonder how it smokes. I do like the idea of a clay that isn't as prone to damage. Though I'd feel funny smoking it in public. But it fits a need however small and it seems like it should be functional.

A tiny bit of paint chipped from the plastic . . . .

Is the pink part made out of plastic?

I don't know if I like it or not, I've got to think about it. Never seen anything like it (bigger than pipes I had in the 70's from head shops and more colorful). I kinda like the color, though

I actually thought the thread was about tattoos. LOL As for tattoos, does anyone like me with 45 plus year old ink NOT think the faded ones look like bird droppings )) LOL (no offense intended--I wear about half dozen old ones, depending on how they're counted -- and they sure do fade and look like stretched silly putty that's played with

I wonder about smoking painted pipes?
kindly

I assume you tried it for a bet(?)

You'd feel funny smoking that in public? I bet you'd get less looks with that pipe than a traditional looking briar. At least in my town.

Definitely not a tobacco pipe. Looks like Big Ben has pulled a Missouri Meerschaum to widen their audience.

Truly? What did Missouri Meerschaum do? I know MM was mostly cobs but I was interested in their Zenon pipe.

I'll stick to my Vauen Quixx, TYVM.

Not that it's ever seen much use. Yea, although it's made for tobacco, it looks too small that I'm leery of smoking it whilst driving.

Same form factor, different materials. Stylish. Does this bowl shape have a particular name? (pardon me, I have no idea how to multi quote)

 

[bluegrassbrian]

Not for me, but a pretty decent job.

 

[Green Hill Hermit]

Cash grab. Trying to appeal to a young audience. This style pipe in the weed world is called a dugout. There is no way a pipe maker would make this thinking it was for tobacco. From the ugly garish color to the name just a cheap looking pot pipe.

 

[midcentry]

Oof. I was what you may consider a stoner in high school, and i wouldn't even smoke grass out of one of those.

Yeah, these pipes frequently come up in my searches because the chamber size is about right for me. And if someone told me they were based on some mid-century modern travel pipe, I'd probably believe them. But there are lots of other pipes I'd buy before one.

It would fall in the Freehand category.

The red part is indeed plastic. However, that's only the exterior. The bowl itself, and the interior right up to the mouthpiece appear to be white clay

WHAT are your tattoos like? Are they 'Ignorant Style' tattoos, like those by Fuzi Uvtpk?

I'm not certain about painting the exterior of pipes. I know I have seen some full bent clay pipe bowls that are sorta Jackson Pollock. But I don't think the paint is exterior. I think it may actually be apart of the firing process.
