Show Your magnum Pipes

[mso489]

I like my extra large pipes both for long deliberative smokes when I'm lucky enough to have that time, but also for intermittent smokes, to start in the evening of one day, then let the pipe go out and resume in the morning after breakfast or even the next afternoon.

I'd be embarrassed to post any of my pipes as large after chasing embers' posts, so I'll just say my largest is a semi-rusticated slightly bent Johs apple, definitely a Group 6, but not extra large by the standards of this thread.

Does anyone know what technically constitutes a "magnum"? Is there an industry standard? A "magnum" of champagne is 1.5L, anything else not a magnum.

When I think of a "Magnum" pipe I think a chamber diameter of .85" or greater combined with a chamber depth of 1.75" or greater. But is there an industry dimension threshold for the claim of magnum? Or are we just left to let Rich Esserman judge each pipe individually. I know Rich has a minimum threshold for what he considers a "Magnum".

Of course. You just give it the @Chasing Embers test. If Duane would own it, it’s considered magnum. I thought this was commonly accepted knowledge?

It is certainly the point of reference which dictates my collection has zero magnum status!

That's a great question and I genuinely don't know the answer. I also suspect that there isn't one seeing as I can't even get a straight answer on Canadian v. Lumberman v. Lovat v. Liverpool

Most of the pipes I have are billed with adjectives of bigness, but none of them bear the name Magnum.

Canadian= oval shank, taper bit
Lumberman=oval shank, saddle bit
Liverpool= round shank, taper bit
Lovat= round shank, saddle bit.

Canadian= oval shank, taper bit
Lumberman=oval shank, saddle bit
Liverpool= round shank, taper bit
Lovat= round shank, saddle bit.

Liverpool= a shit football team with the biggest scum when it comes it it's fans. Absolutely the worst human beings imaginable.

Fixed it.

I think I am going to have to put on my skirt and smoke with the ladies!!

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a magnum, but this Upshall is the biggest pipe I own. I don't really get into large pipes, but once in a while if I'm in the mood for a long smoke it's nice to have one on hand.
We need the old cajun to chime in here. Bradly is know for his large pipes.

Canadian= oval shank, taper bit
Lumberman=oval shank, saddle bit
Liverpool= round shank, taper bit
Lovat= round shank, saddle bit.

So you'd think....

Yep, me or Brad. His pipes dwarf mine.

Made by my buddy Bruce Weaver. He called it a "tri-cano".

 

[MinnesotaNice]

Well looks like I'm gonna have to own a Bruce Weaver pipe. Adding him to my dream pipe list!

Since his passing four years ago they've become a rarity but sometimes pop up on SPC. He made a bit of something for every taste.

. True.
I got rid of most of my Group 2-3 pipes when I got back to pipes a few years ago.

Only to end up with a whole lot more
