What would @chasingembers do? And how the heck does he do it?

I decided with it being my daughter’s first day at kura (school), and with a lot of gardening work to catch up on, I’d load the biggest bowl I had and get to it...

Sure, it’s not like those huge pipes we see (photoshopped?) pics of, but compared to the billards i usually smoke this new cob is Goliath.

Thing is, I’m only quarter a way through it and my face has gone numb. All this clenching has left me with a temporary case of Bell’s palsy.

Does it get easier? Or do I need to book a trip to the dentist and get some dentures I can remove?

English only, thank you.

He is just used to it. I smoke pipes from small Devil Anse to huge bowls I can put my entire thumb in.

It just takes practice.

But, I’m sure I’m wrong.

Do you clench both sizes equally bro?

I do. I only clench.

 

[Ahi Ka]

I do. I only clench.

Cool. Me too. Ok looks like I got some weight lifting to do

Here’s a pretty good size pipe. Just over 6 1/4 inches long. I’m currently smoking it. Total clench.

Btw, that pipe hold three flakes of Capstan Blue.

I could clench the same size pipes back when I still had teeth. Just don't bite down on them. Hang the button from your lower teeth and only use enough bite with the uppers to dangle it.

If the one you have is a General, the freehand is bigger.

Hey Gents,
Here's a few jaw breakers. On the bottom is a group 2 just for reference. Top is a Lee Von Erick, middle is Faaborg. These have large chambers and I love to layer three different tobaccos in them. Interesting to taste the tobacco this way.

I’m just yanking your chain Duane...but saying, with your photoshop skills you probably could pull the wool over my eyes.

Yeah that’s how I clench my pipes too. Just not used to the extra bowl weight I guess

Would that place you in the top .3% according to the recent thread on CB?

My phone's stock editor is pretty good, but my pipe photos are genuine.

I’m not actually sure what the model I have is. Any help? I got it from a forum friend who said it was a Dagner, certainly has that look but the chamber height (70mm+/-) is closer to that of the general or new moonshine than the dagner

I know brah. I was just winding you up in the hope you would post some pics. Never tire of seeing those pipes. Think my favourite is the bing with the cowboy hat

Looks custom.

Yep that’s the one. I can’t quite figure out the expression, but it makes me think of how spotting a unicorn pipe smoker in the actual wild would look.
