Humongous chambers, bulbous shapes, and thick acrylic stems.
Not for me.
I... oh others have already responded... I'll just add that I have not found this to be true for my 4 Neerups. The chambers are in the .75" - .8" range of diameter. They are a little bulbous in comparison to their moderate shanks, but the stems on mine are all great; not artisan thin, but better than most other factory-mades.
I love his use of mottled stains and blast.
I think I get more excited by seeing new Neerup pipes at The Briary than any other pipe maker. They are playful, and not too stiff necked square... nor are they too fat-legged and dumpy looking.
And, Peder Jeppesen has done a great job of giving pipesmokers an excellent smoking tool that is playful and affordable .
