Porsche design...Smorsche design!

[TheSmokeamater]

This C.B. Weber Streamliner is a pretty common pipe. You can find them with some regularity on e-bay. Pretty cool design for something over 60yrs old, I think! A good smoker too!

It is not briar. If anyone knows what sort of wood was used in these please let me know. There are a few mentions of it on the internet, but none indicate what the pipe is made of.

Much thanks,
Rich

You are right, Porsche stole that design!

So did Honda - looks like the cooling fins on many of their their 80's air-cooled engines (ATC, ATV, etc.).

First thing that came to mind was a dipper for a honey pot.

It could be made from manzanita which was used during WWII but most of the pipes didnt last that long due to the bowl cracking.

Not a clue what it's made from but a damn sight nicer than the actual Porsche pipes. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

I agree. This pipe has a lot more charm than a Porsche pipe. It is a vintage Triumph or BSA motorcycle compared to a Kawasaki Ninja. Ninja is fast, relieable, sleek..., but wheres the charm?

I had this pipe dedicated to Dunhill Elizabethan. Had some incredible smokes back then. Now it plays host to Three Friars.

So few people anymore are familiar with these.

It is a good looking pipe, glad to hear it smokes well.

I have to say, though; I do love the Top Gear episode where they tried to smoke some of the Porsche pipes.

Speaking of honey dippers. Have you seen the Savanelli Miele series? It comes with a honey dipper tamper. I really like this series!

Thank you for posting that link, that really is a neat pipe and tamper combo.
