... well, maybe I'm taking more credit than I deserve with that claim.

I found a Kiko Caveman with no stem, cleaned more carbon out of it than a 40 year old toaster, and then took an old churchwarden stem that I had from an East-European pipe which I re-bored it and boiled until I could get just the bends I wanted.

And voila: The Cavewarden.

What do you think? Does this qualify as a new pipe style?

It smokes great, and carries character all the way from its 60's era chunk of Amboseli meerschaum right to the end of its Transylvanian button.

Here's a Pic from my Kiko Caveman collection for perspective.

Well, you have certainly attached a churchwarden stem to it, but there is more to creating a new pipe shape than that. I could just as easily stick a churchwarden stem on a Julius Vesz raindrop and called it a "rain warden".

I like the flow of the stem. The result is a sophisticated version of a Chadwick.
