I saw this yesterday. Very impressive piece of art, as I don't see anyone actually smoking it.

Looks a bit smaller than my mountain lion. I'd smoke it.

That’s pretty wild!

I’d love to see your mountain lion.

The carver from the OP appears to be ISMAIL OZEL. He makes some interesting figurals.

Based on some of the pics you have posted, I think you might be able to clench it!

I was thinking that as well. The mountain lion is the largest pipe I own and I clench it.

How much tobacco can you fit in the bowl?
Sorry for all the questions I’m just intrigued.

It rather an interesting pipe but I think other than @Chasing Embers it is too large for of most of us to attempt to smoke it.

No problem at all. Many/most of my regularly smoked pipes will empty a 50g tin with 2-3 smokes.

Well suited to @tbradsim1 and @pappymac as well.

I'm just now realizing just how large the billiard is.

Can that zippo fit in the billiard?

Well suited to @tbradsim1 and @pappymac as well.

Who? Me?

 

[condorlover1]

I don't have a dog in this race! My head would fall off if I tried smoking anything that big!

That would be something wouldn't it? It's only 1"×3.9".
