My Big Bad Rhodesian

[fishnbanjo]

Since there are more than a few members on the various forums I frequent who jones over Rhodesian pipes I figure why not smoke the star of my Rhodesian group.
Up next is this robust size Smooth Rhodesian with long panel shank by German Pipemaker Werner Mummert. While the pipe itself has a rather robust stance the bowl is a large Group 2 but not quite a Group 3 so a cool smoke is always the case with so much briar encasing it. Having a splendid smoke of Wessex Campaign to keep it smokey.

Wow fishnbanjo, that rhodesian's bowl seems to be almost the size of a baseball! Is it carved out of Strawberry Wood? I am wondering how many grams that pipe weighs.

You must have a jaw like a steel trap.
That's a beaut. Nice grain and finish.

fishnbanjo, I know that when you take pictures your pipes look always bigger, but this is really a nice big piece of
pipe, mizzega!
Anyway, congrats for another great pipe, I like Mummert's works.
