Sorry for the pictures, but I'm not still able to post them correct way with the new Imgur.
Anyway this is the topic: I made this pipe almost two years ago and I smoked it for the first time only now.
Apart from the pleasure it gave me looking at the beautiful way the smoke swirled out of the bowl - caused by the particular shape of the bowl: a round chamber topped by an oval fennel -, since the first smoke I was surprised from the pleasure it delivered and the following times confirmed it gave me the most agreable smoking experience I ever experimented.
Don't misunderstand me, I don't want to advertise the pipes I make. The ones I tried are all good smokers, maybe depending the high quality briar I use, but this one is special and I want to discover why.
The first thought is that, as many of you already experienced, this is just chance. Sometimes you find a perfect smoking pipe nothwithstanding its shape or manufacturing quality or price.
The second possibility is that it depends on the paticular oval funnel inner rim shape.
I want to try and make other pipes with this funnel shape. oval or round, to understand if it has some connection with this good result. Meanwhile, I want to ask you all if somebody already experienced some funnel shape pipe and and how they smoked.

I'm struggling to understand how the rim shape could affect the smoking experience, I thought all the 'magic' happened in the bowl, shank and stem. But then I'm not a pipemaker :?

You appear to have polished inside the bowl. Surely this will be spoiled upon lighting up?

Here's how: Once your photos are on a photo hosting site (such as Imgur.com; Photobucket; Dropbox, etc.), select the full image, then Control-click (Mac) or Right-click (Windows) and choose copy image location. Now paste that URL (the full web address) into the box that pops up under IMG in the compose reply window of the thread in which you want the photo to show.
Good thing you persevered as the pipe photos were well worth waiting for. Awesome grain patterns going on for sure.
Congrats on the gravity defying pipe!
