What Are Your Largest Pipes.

Duane...who did you say carved that meer?

It's a Kenan.

I love that pipe. The shape, grain, colour and stem work perfectly together.

It's funny how it turned out that way. Originally Bruce made it to be a large nose warmer but when it was completed he was afraid someone would burn their nose hair trying to light it.

So, does this mean that the Dr Grabow "Big Pipe" doesn't fit into this category, and is only "big" in reference to the rest of the Dr Grabow lines of pipes?

I've seen on of those with a 2 inch deep chamber, so I'd say it qualifies.

If you have more than a dozen pipes, you might enjoy having at least one or two really large and really small pipes, which both prove useful once you get in the habit of smoking them. Small pipes can give long smokes with flake/coin/plug/rope cuts, and extra large pipes can give extra long smokes or many short smokes intermittently.

This is easy for me to answer it's my Barbic 182....by far my biggest pipe.
I tend to prefer pipes with small bowls however when I saw this for sale at a very reasonable price on an Argentine selling site I had to buy it. I had no idea how big it was anyway. Despite it being a great pipe to smoke it's rarely my first, second or even third choice choice of pipe to smoke and I don't have a lot of pipes. Would never part with it though.

I've got nothing on most pipes in this thread, but I've got this one on the way and it will be my largest. Nearly 2 inch deep.

I have two, you will love them, best jaw hangers ever

My biggest one is a Charatan Executive Extra Large. 1" x 2" chamber. It's an amazing pipe, but I hardly ever reach for it. I'm more of a small-medium pipe guy.

Shouldn't be too long now. The parcel tracking shows delivery any day now.

What made you get two?

Probably the same thing that drove this insanity.

Hi trubka,
was the goldband mounted because of a hairline crack in the shank or for cosmetic purpose?

Btw. My largest pipe (bowl) is also a Charatan. (I just work on it)

Here are my Big Lads.

For perspective, I have included a Savinelli 320KS in every picture. If you don't know what a Sav 320KS looks like, please crawl out from under that rock.

From smallest to largest:

Don Carlos Fiammata 2 note


Castello Sea Rock "G" size Dublin


Peterson Rusticated House Pipe


Amorelli Penna di San Michele "Fancy Flock"


Fikri Baki Gourd Calabash with a Meerschaum bowl


And last but certainly not least is this HUGE Billiard (?) from the late, great Bruce Weaver.

Forgot this (large) Mastro De Paja Castanea S

 

[Ohnogojira!]

How bout a lil Moretti? (not mine btw)

Though I have owned larger pipes in the past, they are all gone now. I have become very particular about the dimensions of the pipes I smoke. My pipes are all between 5 1/2 & 5 3/4" long, 1 1/2" -1 3/4" tall, with and inner chamber diameter around 0.75". The largest I would consider would be 6" x 2", but it would have to be a pretty special pipe.
