Mr Wing's Big Bowled Churchwarden Clay

[mortonbriar]

So I rewatched 'Gremlins' last week. I was thinking that Mr Wing's pipe is the biggest bowl I have seen on a clay, looks like a 3 hour smoke kind of a bowl. And it is very elegant dimensions.

Anyone seen one this big for sale anywhere?

Old German Clay Pipe 50 probably comes closest.

@mortonbriar I love that pipe!

The stem is extra long, but the chamber doesn't look extremely large, compared to, say, one of chasingembers' pipes. I think my 20 inch clay pipe from the Netherlands has a bigger bowl, deeper too. I'm guessing, but I think so.

Yes, I think you are right. Thanks!

But now I am very distracted by #75

@mortonbriar I think it would be fun to find out how much it would hold and how long it would take to smoke. @Chasing Embers says "Now that's in my pipe size area" and "Love at first sight" A King Size clay for the Clay King!

That stem was magnificent indeed!!

@mortonbriar I think if I got this pipe I'd smoke too much tobacco, spend too much money and wreck my health...

Saw the title and was thinking "Mr. Wong would have been better". I wasn't wrong.

I commissioned a similarly proportioned morta pipe from Scottie Piersel, this post just reminded me to smoke it more. Only problem is it's about a 1oz bowl

Keye Luke played both! I see what you did there, good detective work.

I thought Mr. Wong was portrayed by Boris Karloff.

Neither of them is wrong, and both of them is Wong:
