Try that with a 30” hole under the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. Different technology, same concept.

Is this the pipe for people who can't decide between VA's, Arro's, and English?

It's for people who have more money than they know what to do with...

Of course the next question is that if such skills are available to pipe makers, how come some companies can't even drill a straight billiard to pass the pipe cleaner test!

Stuff like that always amazes me. Like the skipper, the first thing I thought of when I saw the triple was that PH 4-bowl contraption. 8O

I don't understand the reasoning behind multiple bowls. Would be a pain in the ass relighting, and if you really want to smoke two different blends at once wouldn't it be easier to mix the tobaccos before loading the bowl?

Showcase skills, or "just because you can"? God only knows, & I don't think She's gonna tell.

You gotta admit though, these types of pipes really push the design envelope. It is nice to see weird departures from the traditional shapes from time to time.
Steve Anderson, of S&R Pipes, used a curving bit on some of his pieces, mainly on full bent pipes.

I suppose that is how Clark Layton makes his serpentade pipes.
