I don't recall ever seeing such a large piece of briar with no imperfections - amazing! Thank you for sharing the photos, it is a lovey pipe. If you don't mind, how big is the chamber? Enjoy many great smokes with that statement piece!

Thank you. I typically only give the dimensions a cursory glance before buying so I don’t remember and Cup O Joes has already removed it from the website

This is what I remember :

1. The chamber depth was well over 2 inches .. In fact it s 2.8 if I remember correctly. I was surprised at the depth

2. I don’t remember the chamber diameter but it is 1.5 inches by my eye

I will try to measure it later today and give more accurate answers

No need to measure - your details above were great. It's a massive hole to go with that massive lump of beautiful briar. I have a couple of pipes whose bowls would fit in that chamber! When Jiminks says a tobacco could be an all-day blend, that would equate to one bowl in that pipe!

I got the size from the internet archive

Neat trick getting the chamber deeper than the bowl height.
