RE: Happiness is a Full Tobacco Jar - Introducing Pipe Smoking to Steemit

in #smoking • 8 years ago

I was considering this: https://shop.pipeshoppe.com/product/markus-fohr-clay-pipe-5-white-curved-stem/

Years ago I had seen someone in Vancouver who was making hand rolled churchwardens that were 12" long but he's not around any more.

I think my wife is willing to let me get one again. ;-)

      You've convinced me.

      I'm going to go ask permission. ;-)

          Those look interesting. I'd love to hear a review.

          I've never seen a clay bowl with a stem of another material, and I'm unfamiliar with the term "ebonite." A visit to Wikipedia has me thinking it's the same thing as the "Vulcanite" used for briar pipe stems. (These are either vulcanite - hard rubber, or lucite - plastic.) Clay gets much hotter during smoking than briar, so I'd be a little concerned it might melt the tenon. On the other hand, those guys look like they know what they're doing.

            I ordered this one:
            https://shop.pipeshoppe.com/product/markus-fohr-47/

            they've got a combo with this and a 15" but that wouldn't have gotten approval from "purchasing".
