Me too...
My father had a poker for a while. I claim it was a Grabow - probably a Westbrook coupon pipe. I have always liked that shape despite the smallish bowl.

I have modified a few Grabows to have wider chambers, but they were all topped to begin with. I hate topped bowls if I can tell they have been topped. It is as if someone else taking off wood gives me permission. The answer to a topped bowl is rimcake, but it is hard for me to get enough smokes in to make much progress there. The wider bowl helps with getting enough smokes in.Kevin Keith wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 5:22 amThe smallish bowl is a problem you could drill down on.
