Clenching The Mountain Lion

[Waning Embers]

Welcome to Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.

Today we get a rare look at the American Elephant. This graceful creature, pictured below, has been hunted to near extinction by poachers for his tusks, which fetch a high price on the black market.

I got called a walrus on another forum.

I thought of walrus, but those tusks are too impressive for a walrus.

So, you are the walrus?

You don't want to doubt that 'embers can do something, because then he'll be right back 'atcha doing it!

A 74 mm chamber depth is the largest I've seen. Wowza!

I bet @chasingembers can't custom order a carved meerschaum life size replica of himself to smoke...

Yanik and Kenan would do that.

Ok, maybe not life size, but I think we should start looking into bobble-head meerschaum pipes.

Weren't we told the walrus was Paul?

That was before he was replaced.?

@chasingembers go me thinking and I realized that I have a meerschaum 'cutty' that would fit into Mr. Embers size category!

All screw in inserts. Very open draw on both.

Looks like the same system. Maybe the issue is in the acrylic part of the stem.



Also - I like that additional shank extension to the Skull - haven't seen you rocking it without it.

It's constructed to only be assembled with the extension. The threaded connector that holds the extension to the stummel is too large for the tenon.

Could be the bore of the draught.

The coloring on the skull pipe is amazing.
