What Is Your Biggest Bowled Pipe?

[shanez]

My 2 largest meers and my 2 largest Savinelli Autographs with a Dunhill group 4 for comparison:

Chamber or bowl? For chamber I'm going to say toss up between my bent briar and my self carved ball. The ball chamber is slightly wider about 1/16th inch or so; the bent briar is about the same deeper.

Now as for bowl size, (outside size) the ball wins for dimensional size, but I think my briar has as much or slightly more material due to the mistakes I made carving the shank.

I like large pipes. For some quirky reason I've always progressed the size of the pipe I smoke through the course of the day: mediums in the morning, large at noon and very large in the evening. Have several magnums I smoke in the evening, 1 being a bent billiard Wilmer and 1 a Collosus straight rusticated barrel whose bowl is around 3 inches tall around 7 inches in length.

A Don Carlos Fiamatta Magnum 1 note. It's a BIG sucker.... Smokes GREAT too! When I have 2 hours....

My largest chambered pipe is a Savinelli Autograph bent Dublin. .89 x 1.69

It's a Savinelli 320 KS for me. I had owned a bigger EX model (on the picture) but I'd got rid of it.

This giant Charatan, a "Countryman" shape.

MM Wizard Cobbit 0.825x2” chamber. Easily lasts a couple hours, and I can’t imagine smoking some of the really big chambers posted here.

My largest bowled pipe is a briar bird custom I had made for my birthday a few years back. I can put my thumb in past my first knuckle and you could drop a 50 cent piece in it when it was new. But with the cake I built up on it maybe a quarter now.

It was one of his first.

Scored this GBD Pre-Historic Collector Scoop in a set of estates I won on ebay. Slightly over 1 inch chamber width, just under 2 inch depth. It has a crack on the rim that only goes about an eighth of an inch down and doesn't affect the smoke. Considering one of the other pipes was a Savinelli freehand and I only paid about $9 a piece for them I think I came out alright on the deal.

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)

Very decent pic! Unless you feel it lacks some artistic element, not needed at all in an exposition photo.

How does (do) the airway(s) run?- are the chambers connected?

I’m not sure, I’ll pull the stem and check

That’d be a great way to enjoy that often pondered 1Q and Odyssey combination!

Seriously though I’ll go pull the pipe in a bit, grab a cleaner and maybe a flashlight and see what’s going on down in the shank.

Here is a truly massive Orlick from my newly acquired collection. This thing is absurd!



Of the ones I will keep, I think my Comoy’s Extrodinaire 100 might be my biggest bowl.

Okay, done!

Yes sir, connected. Like an open gang-valve. With just a bit of practice I was able to steer the cleaner into either chamber by tilting the stummel.

It’s stamped:

Sorry for the uppercase. The stamping is likewise all-caps except for “Søren.”
