    Vented "Cool" Pipe???

    Well, I'm strictly playing devil's advocate here, and have no official opinion one way or the other, but I'm intrigued by advances in any way. On a philosophical level; while I believe stepping backwards towards simplicity is ideal, we seem to enjoy reinventing the wheel in this civilization...

    A few more in the past weeks

    Excellent work! I particularly like the blue. I realize it's different, but as I begin my interest in pipe collecting, I surely wouldn't want them all the same...

    Vented "Cool" Pipe???

    Noted. Yeah, I'm definitely not looking to get in over my head right away. And I respect that it's how you smoke more then what you smoke. Just like 4x4ing is more how you drive then what you drive. I get it. I'll definitely start with something very simple. In fact, I have an "antique"...

    Newbie attempt

    Well, as someone who hopes to begin carving decent pipes,,, I can definitely say I'd be happy to produce something like you have! Very nice work! I have one question which I've always wondered and never asked anyone - now is as good as time as ever. When you have that rough "nubby" looking...

    Vented "Cool" Pipe???

    Hello, So I'm thinking about starting to carve pipes. I've never done it, but usually find success in almost anything I put my mind to. I'm wondering if anyone has ever made a pipe with extra slats, fins, holes, etc., to radiate off excess heat? Certainly there must be something that has...
