Done as a model/sample for a group pipe, this is pretty much my own
personal ideal of a smoking tool, combining everything I like (good
size, thick walls, rugged construction & character) with the
elegant, slinky S curve that I enjoy slipping into all my bent pipes,
taking great care to keep the shank & stem lines as one smooth
flowing curve without any obvious breaks or transitions where shank
becomes stem. This is actually a poor pipe to serve as a group
pipe model, however, because they certainly won't all have grain like
this! Positives: Exceedingly practical AND elegant in shape. The sandblast is the eye-popper here, though - VERY deep, very contrasted, and very gnarly, especially when viewed from the front bottom of the bowl, where the ring stacking is most obvious. I was really conflicted as to whether to make this a grade 3 or a grade 4, and IMO I probably should have made it a 4 - I'm going to kick myself if someone buys this and immediately ebays it for more than I charged! The stem is handcut from German cumberland rod, with an effortless draw - I've been working my airhole slots deeper and deeper and wider and wider, and I expect this to be a quality smoking machine. BTW, the "wide cone" description down below under "bowl size" refers to the chamber - it isn't a straight-walled chamber with a rounded bottom, but isn't a cone either. Instead, it's closer to a very fat torpedo, to avoid the moisture problems that can sometimes occur with conical bowls as they're smoked lower down. Negatives: Nada. It's as good as I can make a pipe.  Bowl Type: 2.3 cm wide-cone Airhole Size: 5/32" Total Weight incl Stem: 59.5 grams Bowl Height: 5.5 cm(Bottom to lowest bowl edge) Tobacco Chamber Depth: 4.1 cm Length from Bowl Base to end of Bit: 12.5 cm To Purchase:All Buyers - Email us and reference this catalog number - The Bull-Horn.
