My First "Giant" Pipe and My First Pear Wood.

[smokedragon]

I have been a long-time follower of PipefriendCHS over on youtube, and one of his recent posts were about affordable giant pipes from Mr.Brog. With internship, a move, and a baby all in my near future, I have been looking for pipe deals. I have always wanted to try a giant pipe like PipefriendCHS, and with my last paycheck I decided to begin my hunt. He was talking about the Lumberjack in his video; a pipe that to me is actually a coffee cup with a stem on it. Not my cup of tea so to speak. Instead I went with Mr. Brog's XL Giant Freehand. Not quite as monstrous, but still a good opportunity to try a large pipe and a pear wood to boot. 2 1/2 inch chamber on this bad boy. (sorry for the image quality)





I'm test driving it tomorrow when I take the dogs out to the park.

That's one big ass pipe for sure. Nice looking though.

I really like the color. That is a big pipe for sure...

I haven't really thought about giant sized yet, but it IS a sweet looking pipe, and I only hopes it smokes as well for you as my Brog (a Kentucky, natch!) does for me!

Better take those dogs for a LONG walk - that is one big pipe - good looker, too!

Please do let us know how it smokes. This is one of the Brog pipes that I have my eye one. If anything it should smoke cool because of the thickness of the walls.

Will do jndyer. Waiting until my Sutliff No. 5 and Molto Dolce come in tomorrow.

Looks like a good long smoke. Be interesting to see how pear wood does over time for a large bowl.

My Mountain Laurel pipes have big bowls (not quite this big, but large) and they never heat up enough

to cause a worry. I'd bet pear wood does just fine.
