I've been looking for a nice estate or even a new Brebbia Fat Bob pipe and have not had much luck thus far. Years ago, used to see them on SP and other sites. Where did this style go?

Ive considered them. I then thought about something Cosmic stated in a thread. He found that despite liking the, the shape wasnt that comfortable to hold. The one Im talking about is a more exagerated version of the pipe Jim posted. I think there are a couple of versions. I really like the flat saucer version but it does look a little cumbersome.

I always hesitate to say, "I didn't say that," because Chasingembers very well could dig up my old statement and prove me wrong, ha ha. But, I should rather say that I don't find it cumbersome to "hold," just cumbersome in general, despite what words I may have used in the past. But, I do love the chamber size. Mine is a tad over 1" wide. I also had a custom bulldog made that has the same bowl dimensions. It's a honkin' hunk of briar, h aha. but, I think everyone who loves exploring the differences in pipe sizes and designs should try one. I am not sure whether I just don't smoke it often because of cumbersomeness or that I just don't smoke blends that I enjoy in larger pipes that often. Regardless, it is a drawer pipe, but I do love having it handy if I ever do get the urge to smoke a Burley Flake or a GH rope. For me it makes a very strong blend more like a cigar with a large ring gauge; it just sort of takes the edges off for me.

I have a Fat Bob and a Sav 320EX; they are quite similar in looks and proportions (the Brebbia having a slightly larger chamber). I actually prefer the 320 in the hand.

Way too funny!😂
Semaglutide is an injectable GLP-1 receptor antagonist that was developed for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, but that has been found by some non-diabetics to be helpful in weight-loss.
Very helpful - thanks for your valued input. I thought someone would probably add a comment like this. Doesn't assist in my search.
