I had the best teeth in the family until an industrial chemical accident.
One hell of a jaw man!
I never know when you're joking. When I do make a quip that would be easily thrown back in my face, you just end up saying, "No really, I'm not joking." So... I'm sorry about your teeth, but I'm glad that it helps with your really large sculptural pipes.
Of course I can't just let it slide that easily... I... I can't help it... did it come with a water pump to turn it into a fountain in your front yard?

It was foam grill cleaning acid at a food manufacturing plant. Got sprayed in the face. Had third degree chemical burns on my face and shortly after my teeth began falling apart. Good news is that the settlement paid off my car and house.
Chop the stems up and feed them to unwary pigeons.
Line your walkway with the bowls inserted into niched brick.

Not me, I still eat everything I did before, plus I can eat and drink cold things now. Too old for vanity at this point.
I'm not attracted to them....at all. Probably because in my 40+ years of smoking a pipe I've never actually seen anyone in real life smoking one. The only people I've seen with one are actors or pictures posted by pipe smoking forum members.
They are more of an inside your house thing. Carrying them around would just be asking for attention, esoteric, like walking around with a Viking mead horn, or wearing a kilt to the mall. I do enjoy mine occasionally... inside, movie nights, reading, casting evil spells, or when deep in my alchemical formulas. But, not exactly something I'd drive around with. Just my take on them.

Good for you. ?
Well the cobwarden landed yesterday.
Seems I won't be swapping in a danish bit at any point, its a smaller fitting than any cobs I own.. had a stinger (removable) too.
Not like anything I've seen.
That's her cleaned up. It must have hardly been smoked, as inside the bowl was barely blackened, and the bottom of the bowl had definitely never touched an ember.
Whilst the stem was soaking (boy, had it oxidised!) I sanded down a royal bit to fit..
Really can't wait to try this out later today, both ways..
And @cosmicfolklore .. I reckon I'll brave clenching it, it's real lightweight

I used to live so close to St James Park that when Newcastle scored at home it rattled my windows.
I’d rather watch paint dry, however.
Churchwardens are the best pipe ever.
I do buy shorter pipes because of the limited selection of Churchwardens, but most of them are still over 6" long.
Indeed.
"Bowl On Belly" is the ultimate in relaxation.
You don't even need the Warden length cleaners, just stick a regular cleaner in each end of the stem.

Just settled in for my after dinner smoke, thought I would break out the Churchwarden tonight.
