Double bowled pipe?

[Tove]

Hi,

Perhaps this is is a stupid question, but has anyone ever produced a pipe consisting of a single stem but with 2, or more, bowls attached? Presumably one of the 2 bowls would need to be sealed to prevent excessive airflow, but other than that it would function the same as a single bowl. I know interchangeable bowl pipes, such as Falcons, solve the problem using a different approach.

Tove.

That's bonkers! Thanks for the examples - I did a quick search but could only find cannabis pipes. Is there any reason, beyond aesthetics, that these weren't more popular? A 2 in line pipe would be perfect for out and about.

I don't think that these are practical pipes, but I think that these are more sculptural concept pieces. But, I could be wrong... I just have never heard anyone say that they actually smoke one.

Luigi Radice, all tough not completely one stem next to each other there is one stem with 3 shanks.

I’ll bite — what is the problem to be solved by having more than one bowl?

That needs a cylinder for reloading, think wheel gun (revolver) where you put a tin of tobacco in each chamber, someone else can figure how it pushed the tobacco from the tin into the bowl, I’m just the big picture guy

They seem ideal for blending different tobaccos

This fellow kills 50g tins with 2.5 fills.

I laugh but like you i can put away a lot of bowls so i could see loading that and just randomly smoking it throughout the day.

or you might be 1/4 the height of a normal man. It's really hard to tell without more concrete references to use. I mean I'll take your word on it, but it doesn't mean it's conclusive.
Seriously though the double chambered pipes look to me like a pipe that got exposed to massive doses of radiation and has grown an extra head.

That probably comes in handy when examining the floors of burned-out buildings!
