Seven Bowl Clay Pipe - Smoke Multiple Blends at Once

[virginiacob]

Found this rather unique clay pipe on eBay tonight. I guess you could smoke 7 different blends at one time!

That certainly is unusual...

Interesting one.

It would be interesting to smoke at my pipe club, for the reaction. But I doubt I would ever carry it into my garage. It certainly would not fit on my pipe rack.
That reminds me. I need to make a rack for my growing clay pipe collection. Ferb! I know what I will do this weekend!

One bowl for English, One for VaPers. One for Aros. One for Burleys. DeathMetal could use the remaining three bowls for Royal Yacht.

1 bowl is much larger than the others.......one bowl to rule them all?

There's a clay pipe in the museum at Jamestown that has 3 or 4 bowls on the end, all merging into one stem. The one here looks like a novelty item, but the one in the museum looked like it was meant to be smoked -- no idea what the rationale was, though.

And I guess you will need 6 more people for lighting and tamping.

All I can think of is how much work it would be to smoke that...and how much my tongue would hurt afterwards.
