What blend have you been smoking in that pipe ? ::

Sadly this pipe was cracked beyond repair and will not be coming back to life. It is one example of many pipes that I have found smoked almost closed. Thanks Lordworlf for teaching the older generation how to ream.

Pity. Looks like it would have been a nice looking pipe restored.

I have seen quite a few like that myself and it is always nice to get them going again.

Looks like a hammer and chisel job. You never know, maybe the guy was into a 15 minute smoke.

The one pipe quit smoming method. When you can no longer smoke through it your ready to quit for the frustration of loading it anyway.

Extra points for the hair sticking out of the cake. If you manage to smoke multiple bowls without burning the hair.... well.... win.

I was talking to my Dad one day and I mentioned "cake" and he told me that it was kind of a "badge of honor" to have a pipe loaded with cake when he was younger. Then they would just chunk it.

I have an uncle who follows that line of thought voorhees. He loves Savinelli pipes and will only owns one pipe at a time and smokes it all day every day. He won't get another one until it gets like these examples or until he drops and breaks it, as he has done several times.

I have been spending days cleaning out the cake from my grandfather's cake filled pipes; didn't realize I was stripping down the trophy.

How is that even possible in the pic above? I've been smoking pipes for about 14 years and have never built anything near that kind of cake...they must not even empty the bowls.
