Today was my first smoke with a Big Ben Dublin Churchwarden.
I bought this pipe about five years ago when I heard that the Gubbels factory was shutting down, and only got it tuned up to smoking condition this week (re-drill the stem).
The chamber is only about 1-1/2" deep and fairly thin walled at the heel, but the buttonwork from Gubbels is above average for a factory pipe.
