Peck's Magical Smoking Pipe

[allan]

There isn't much for me to say=almost all of the clever things have been written.
Frankly, if I did see the pipe on smokinpipes, I would have let it pass. It really is unattractive, even though I believe in the mantra (and repeat it often) 'you can't smoke grain, you can't smoke grain..."
I have a Will Purdy that is, I believe, quite ugly.
Unfortunately, it is not a magical pipe by any means. It smokes ok, but after reading all of the reviews on Mr. Purdy, I was a little disappointed.

Peck I only have one Roush Billiard, Big, Clunky, but smokes like a dream out of the box, down the road I would like to have a nut sack pipe as mine float now. Not complaining just Facts. :laughat:

Just don't smoke it while sitting in cold water lest it shrivel and get even more wrinkles.
Seriously, it might not be a pipe that would gain my attention, but it is in no way shape or form what I would consider as ugly.
Actually, this Larry Roush pipe looks more like your genital reference than it does with the pipe you have. Maybe not so much the shape of the bowl, but rather the texture of it. :wink:

8O Good lord, I'd be afraid to put that thing in my mouth, Peck.

In honor of Peck's new pipe:
The Scrotum Song

Well, it could be worse - it could be a scarred scrotum pipe:

 

[phil67]

Now THAT is what I consider ugly.

But, who knows as it might smoke like a champ and that is all that really matters.

As long as it's comfortable to hold and can easily be clenched I don't give a rats ass.

However, that's not to say I have some limits when I have to choose a pipe and be 'comfortable' with it.

Pipes are indeed strange and subjective little objects...

Peck, congrats on that superb smoker. I have to admit, the pipe is not my style either, but happy for you that it's got those magical properties we all look for. Well done.

Thanks for posting the pix. It's not something I would carry around in public, but it looks like a fine fireside pipe. :clap:

 

[pitchfork]

Glad it smokes well like magic for you, Peck.
I have to say, I really like that shape. In fact, those bulbous "apple," "cutty" and other shapes by Roush are the ones I like best.

Given the testicular resemblance, the "wedding" band is rather unfortunate in placement. All that aside, I'd smoke it!

I am the collector of ugly pipes in my friend circle. Bear that in mind when I say: That is a cool pipe, Peck!
:wink:
:clap:

To choose one Holy Grail from my collection would be unwise since I have several that fit that description so I'll play along with that caveat. Were I to choose what pipe is my Holy Grail for Walkabout ( I'm choosing this because it's a year round, every day, must do no matter the weather ) and since I can meet with serious winds, rain, sleet, snow etc. it becomes important that it's a pipe that keeps lit, requires only a tamp once and again and smokes whatever tobacco I have chosen to smoke to ash and finishes when I get to the SL500 in time for me to give Levi his treats. I have chosen the Dr's. Pipe Buddha since it replayed this today as it does no matter the tobacco and is a flake lovers dream to smoke, today it was Best Brown Flake.

Do you ever get the urge to turn your head and cough while loading that puppy?

 

[mrenglish]

How long does it take you to smoke a bowl? It looks like the chamber is on the small side.
Looks like an elephant nut sack to me, but if it smokes like you say who are we to judge?

Just a note of caution: Never smoke this pipe at a lacrosse match lest it be mistaken for the ball which, if memory serves, was originally made by Native Americans from a deer's scrotum stuffed with hair!

Congratulations on finally finding your magic pipe, Peck. As a gesture of friendship, I'll take all those other crappy pipes that you've been buying, off your hands. Really. It's not an imposition.

 

[sablebrush52]

Anyone else have a magical smoking pipe?

Well, since my focus is Family Era Barlings, I have a number of them. But I also have Von Erck pipes, and all of those fall into the category as well. During a long relaxed evening bull session Saturday evening at the WCP lounge, with the Guss brothers, I enjoyed a bowlful of Compton's #10 in a large Von Erck blasted Dublin. That bowl went for 90 minutes of effortless sipping, without needing a relight, even when I left it a couple of times to get drinks from the bar.

I did a double take when I saw the photo of your Danish?— Scandanavian at least— freehand. I pulled mine out of the rack and find it says

"Harcourt- Hand carved in Denmark", with letter O above the markings, which are read with stem pointing down.(!)
But the resemblance is uncanny. The stem has a square detail where yours is round, at the top turning. I think I got it about 50 years ago.

I wouldn't call my Sav Roma ugly....but it sure isn't fancy or eye grabbing. Smoked awesome though.
It also looks nothing like someone's wedding tackle.
