What Is Your Biggest Bowled Pipe?

[mso489]

My biggest bowled pipe is a Johs apple, which I originally called a brandy until I saw the invoice, given to me by my wife for Christmas in 2010. It's not a monster, but easily a Group 6, semi-rusticated and quarter bent, a bit heavy to clench much. But when I have a long reflective session in mind, it's the go-to pipe. Runner up might be a Johs freehand tomahawk with plateau on the rim and shank, given me the same Christmas.

My biggest bowl is a Randy Wiley Sea Reef bulldog.

Biggest bowl, or biggest chamber?

 

[mso489]

chasing', yes, chamber. I think of packing the chamber as the bowl, but for this purpose, it is inexact. Thanks.

Either way, Castello Old Antiquari "55".

At 1.9 oz., it's one of the more anemic models around but, still larger than the rest of the my rack.

Just wanted to make sure. In that case...


Moretti Magnum

9.6 ounces, .75"x3 2" chamber

That is some serious burner!

Are we talking the bowl, the chamber, or some sort of ratio or standard shape?

I've got a couple of meers that are insanely large but the chambers are probably what You would typically find on a group 4 Dunhill.

A Roma Oom Paul. It looks like some of those Boswell Jumbo pipes.

It's pretty much a tie between these two Moretti Magnums, a freehand Briar and a Morta Pot. Although I always want to call the Morta an apple, since it's about the size of an actual apple. Both pushing 3 inches of depth and an inch of diameter:

I generally prefer smaller chambered pipes, so I don't really have any big ones. This old Regis "super grain briar" pot shaped one holds the most tobacco.

Technically this doesn’t count.

A) It’s part of the estate I’m charged with selling
B) Two bowls (oops, chambers)

But I thought it’d be fun to show it (this isn’t a good pic)

I would call that an Apple.

An MM 2018 Limited Edition Reverse Calabash cob that has never been smoked. I just don't know what to smoke in it. Obviously not flake, since I can't sit in my car for 2 hours just smoking.

This Radice. Not insanely big but my biggest.
