Hmm, how about a ShoRtgun pipe with a single 10ga shell? ?
That should have an amenable enough, Olkofri-friendly chamber.

Maybe calabash style where the shell is removable from the pipe.
The cost of the matching tamper blew me away. I thought it would be much more than that.
That would be awesome, I would probably spend most of my smoking time repeatedly puffing it full of smoke just to pull the smoking shell out though.
I thought so too.
I dont have much experience with pipe comissions but he seems to be very reasonable as compared to some mid range production pipes.
Sounds appropriate. ?
Good looking pipe. ?
That is one awesome looking pipe! Especially if you are into guns.
Even without the shells it is a sublime pipe. A big poker is a fundamental pipe everyone should own. Even small children and non-smokers.

You inspired me to break mine out in my office to sample some Solani 633 that came in the mail today ?

Have the tenth pack smoking at work right now, no explosions yet. ?
I've got a pipe commissioned that he is working on as we speak, a partially rusticated Rhodesian. I'll post some pics and a report when I get it and have smoked it a couple times.
Now that is a beautiful piece @Country Bladesmith , almost too beautiful to actually smoke! I'm just curious as to what one of those pipes set you back financially. Now you have 10,000 & 1 pipes in your collection, 
every darn time. I think I just don't like this pipe style or that pipe company someone here buys one I think looks great.@Ebarber
Just so you know, I blame you.
I recently received my 357 poker from Frank Johnson of Thunder Pipes, and have to say that I'm impressed. After seeing the one I commissioned for my wife, I decided to add one to my collection as well and couldn't be happier. Frank is an absolute joy to work with, informed me of defects in the briar, and even totally started over on the pipe when he found something wrong. What I ended up choosing was a pipe with no accents, but fell in love with the amber swirl acrylic rod stock he had for the stem, and a matching tamper. The pipe has an amazingly open draw and as the briar warms, it emits a soft, pleasant nutty aroma. His button work is superb as I am finding the acrylic stem very comfortable to clench. My pipe and tobacco pairings are always done out of pure whimsy and as such, this revolver pipe is my new Luxury Bullseye Flake smoker.

No, that’s chasingembers. My collection is quite meager. Embers could open up a Savinelli store though ?Now that is a beautiful piece @Country Bladesmith , almost too beautiful to actually smoke!

$220 for the poker and matching tamper.Now that is a beautiful piece @Country Bladesmith , almost too beautiful to actually smoke! I'm just curious as to what one of those pipes set you back financially. Now you have 10,000 & 1 pipes in your collection,
