I know the mind of every Canuck would fit that description, but have you ever seen a Canadian shaped Pipe with a Bent Stem?
The subject comes up because I just got some replacement stems from China and of course the tenons are ALL different from the diameter stated when I bought them, luckily one stem happens to perfectly fit a Rossi Canadian that I've been meaning to get a new stem for ever since I blew up the original with my 3/8" Taper Bit (Very easy to break through the surface when trying to match the outside taper of the stem on the inside).
The new stem is bent at about a 45 degree angle right now, I probably want to straighten it some, but maybe not if there's good precedent for "someone" having carved a pipe like this intentionally before.
So the question now is how bent is too much bend in a Canadian?
(And technically the new stem is a saddle bit so it's really a Lumberman not a Canadian, but making simple jokes about the country is way more entertaining than trying to make fun of hard working people.)
