Let's See Your Magnum/House Pipes

[alaskanpiper]

Good to know. I've been intrigued by the gourd calabashes for a while but have never pulled the trigger on one. It seems they are all either no name pipes, or refonkulously expensive. Plus (no offense) they just look silly as hell. Like something out of a Dr. Seuss book.

Wow Old Cajun that Ardor Giant is HUUUGE! You'd need bloody horses teeth and a jaw like Robert Z'Dar to clench that bugger! What a beauty.

Yeah I only smoke indoors so I've never really given much thought to it but you're probably right, they certainly have a distinct look thats for sure.

I see the OP's concession to his wife on pipe acquisition had a short half-life...ha! :puffpipe:
Some handsome pieces though; enjoy 'em!

 

[alaskanpiper]

Hahaha, I initiated the bidding prior to lockdown. Except on the Volcano (shhhh!).

I've seen some of those extra large Castellos, like jfred's for sale from time to time. I'm keen to know, if those are really meant to be smoked or if they are merely show and collectors' pieces?

I'll be smoking my Moretti pipes I can tell you that much.

 

[burleyboy]

I really like the idea of those giants beeing real smokers!

 

[danimalia]

These are like the pipe versions of a true "A" sized cigar. Maybe not the kind of thing for regular smoking, but nice to have as an option. I'm still trying to build out a small collection of regular smokers, but I could see myself having one in the future. No way I'm taking any kind of Dark Flake or Brown Twist challenge in one of those things, though 8O

I sure hope so, otherwise I'm doing it all wrong :D

 

[sablebrush52]

They're all usable. The question is why would you want to.

 

[sablebrush52]

Are Magnum pipes and Italian thing?

Seems so these days. Before, they were a British thing.

 

[brian64]

Here's my biggest one. A Castello dublin in le dune finish.

That thing is awesome. :worship:

 

[disinformatique]

Holy Cow Brad !

Yes. Comoy's 804.

Not mine, but this one is, a smaller pipe, shape 100.

Chris@ Pipe Monk, I've always thought of those large Svendborg freehands as being pipes by Jens Tao Nielsen. Here is one I have,

Snikeys! Some of those are big enough to have their own moons.

My weekend pipe, carved by our own Sasquatch. By far my favorite pipe in the rotation,
