This pipe screams to be customized

[fishnbanjo]

Although unique enough on its own this Cob Cigar Pipe designed by Chris Morgan for MM falls short on comfort due to the odd stem used.
Were I to do any customization it would be to nip off the end of the stem giving the pipe a true Figurado appearance and finding a vintage Cigar Holder that would be more comfortable to hold thereby enhancing the smokability of this reverse Calabash design.
Capable of holding one coin of Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls that is what I'm keeping it smokey with.

With some weight forward and some length exerting some leverage, the bit on this is important. I think your cigar holder arrangement might work. My dad's mom was a cigar smoker and I remember him using a tortoise shell cigar holder.
