Ridiculously huge pipes?

[ssjones]

Here's a Boswell Grizzly from a few years ago at a forums Meet & Greet. A local minister only collects and smokes these Grizzly size pipes.

Looks like a good clencher

Clenching them would give you a very sore jaw that needs resting before eating.

If you ever wanted to try a giant pipe without breaking the bank, Mr. Brog sells some very large pear wood pipes. I have a Giant XL, which takes a couple hours to smoke. Mr. Brog also has a larger one called the Lumberjack or something.

Wow, and I thought that my 1" diameter Savinelli dry system pot was large.

I had read that a well-known pipemaker had said that pipes over 1" were hard to keep lit. Has anyone experienced this?

I've seen a few offered by Greek Alexander with huge bowls. I wouldn't mind a large diameter pipe for certain mixes. But, If it's going to be a pain in the neck to smoke...

Here are a few of mine. Clockwise the biggun is a Mr. Brog Lumberjack, Rattray Chief, Rattray Butcher's Boy, Tsuge Blowfish, and a Chacom Army. The last three aren't big but in for comparison. I haven't tried the Lumberjack yet but there is a guy in my city that smokes one everyday, it would take a half a tin of Capstan to fill the beast.

I have a lovely giant Nording that I smoke in solitude, for a long, meditative smoke. It's the only giant I currently have, since I haven't encountered any more like it, nor am I likely to. It serves its purpose.

This is my biggest... My giant Rad-desian. It weighs in at 76g and the bowl will take my entire thumb and I can spin the pipe freely.

Pruss my heart skipped a beat looking at that pipe.

I think of you fondly every time I smoke it, Brad. But don't go having a heart attack or I'll have to stop posting pictures of it... Pipe porn can be perilous.

Jeez, he's clutching it too. What did they make you use as a pacifier as a baby?

 

[blueeyedogre]
