Sitter pipe

[Michigan_Bill]

@Lucashly I broke one of my clays tapping the ash out at the Battle of Nantwich; one of the Sealed Knot re-enactors showed my how to tap the ash out of a clay pipe without breaking it, by tapping it against the back of my hand!

That's the plan!

What do you mean?

From my experience a sitter has a small base compared to say a wine glass. Therefore I have found them to. be relatively unstable. Maybe it’s just me but I have dropped a few and broke the tenon. So I don’t stand them up. I’ll lean them in an ashtray or some type of support to avoid this from happening. Sorry I already answered this question.

Not sure I would say small...I think it would look better larger

I have sitters that perch on a little flat area at the bottom of the bowl or bowl and stem, but I have others that have broad flat bottoms that have fairly sturdy footing. A sturdy sitter is especially companionable. You never have to look for a place to prop it up, just any flat surface.

My first pipe bought in the mid-1970's, a Tinder Box St. Ives house pipe, is a bent pot sitter with an unusual vertical saddle stem. I think it is a French pipe, possibly a Chacom, and still looks good and smokes well. It was beginners luck, and I had the intuition to hang onto it through some non-smoking stretches, for example when I quit in solidarity with my late wife in quitting her three pack a day cigarette habit. If you quit, save at least some of your pipes; I saved all of mine that I had at the time. I still have all of those early pipes.

I always associate Frosty with a cob - one with a Reed stem
Just like Popeye
