Pipe Smoking Transcends Trends

Hard to do fine lines with a touch screen, but the curves are carved around the airway.

Are you man enough to wear a collar like that?-Brightleaf

Uh, no.

Otherwise known as a cone of shame.

Yeah, the airway is actually straight.

That pathway looks like it's getting awfully close to the edges of the shank. Too close for any durability. It's possible that the airway undulates, just at a lesser amount. Curved airways have been around since the 19th century.

Saw a discussion about that one on another forum a while back. It was said to be straight.

OK. Well, that's unfortunate. Very cool idea and great external execution.

 

[Waning Embers]

Yeah, the inner curves would make it very delicate.

Never trust the herd.
Always love the pipe.

I have no ruffled collars, but have several clay pipes that look similar to those depicted in the first illustration. They smoke quite well.
