LOL. I think I understand.
I don't like using ignore functions because it tends to break threads or make for some awkward situations. Long time ago I did have to use the ignore command for an irritant on an IRC channel. It worked wonders till one night I was replying to another fellow who was actually having a convo with the ignored bloke: I reckon the latter might have taken issue with some of the things I said since he didn't know I was ignoring him. Worse, he had admin rights in that channel. ?
That is a BEAUT! I would love to get my mitts on a piece of treasure like that!
Its as close to anatomically correct a skull as I've ever seen in meerschaum.
Coloring fairly well until I put it down for the winter.
Here is my Boswell Jumbo XXX nosewarmer! It has some weight. Reason I like big pipes is everything is multiplied. Think of a small pipe smoke session, all the moments of perfection....in a big pipe those moments are simply prolonged! It is true that moisture needs to be taken into consideration, but when doesn't it come into play? I say, do what makes you happy! 
I have never seen such a perfect skull! I often cringe at some of the 'skulls' out there, but that is a masterpiece! And the color? Exquisite....and will only get better!
I like Yanik's skulls but they're too horror movie rather than realistic.
They're still not as bad as 'vikings' with horned helmets. ?
Your Moretti looks great, these look gimmicky to me, I reckon the tobacco will have changed midway through a bowl, probably become stoved
Plus yeah, I'm not well-stocked in tobacco at all to warrant killing a tin with 2 smoked when I get 20 out of one!
Those are Boswell's big magnums. Hard to get too as one guy buys up most of them every year.
Even with my regular smoking pipes I only get 10 from one.
Yeah, once I got my first big pipe years ago, I was instantly hooked.
It got the ball rolling. This recent Tinsky has uncorked something fierce.
But - SP is insisting I send it back to them because I noticed a few small scratches on it. So, as much as I like it, it may end up not being mine when all is said and done.
Preben Holm's Ben Wades will scratch that itch very well.
@ofafeather I can almost smell all that pipe smoke - and some of it will be mine in a couple of years time!
I have never regretted buying a massive pipe, though they are not for everybody. I have enjoyed seeing other's behemoths!
Keep an eye out for these: Bent - King's Imperial - Pipes - http://blakemar.co.uk/pipes/kings-imperial/bent
Alternatively it's not too hard to find pre-drilled Hobby Blocks, a fully functional pipe just without any shaping.
