I asked Mark to make a pair of Diamond Shank Pots for me. Should arrive next week.

Sorry about the pic size . . . I do not know how to scale it down.

I see your tastes have gone up in group sized pipes. The Bings must be jealous. Lol..
Great pair!
I have become a great fan of Mark's Pot shape pipes . . . 7/8" Chamber Diameter 1-1/2" OD 1-1/2" Tall.

This particular Design is from memory of 50 years past from a Jobey Pipe. It was $25 or something that I could not justify affording at the time.

Nice specs... I'm sure they will be great smokers. They look fantastic!

I’d like to see them after a month of use with a @Fr_Tom technique of rim cake build up on the natural colored pipe

lol @ the Fr_Tom method :lol: It will take me a year to get that much cake I think (though that's largely as I have to go to the garage to smoke!)

I am going to assume Father Tom is a Zippo user and loads tobacco to the rim and then some.

My bowls are often overflowing and the residue wants to build in a hurry. I stay on top of cleaning it, Father Tom views it as protection.

I offered to just buy my own pipe and she agreed to pick out her purse and we would call it good

She is still looking and
I think I got the better deal 🤣

But at least we will both have something to unwrap for Christmas with the family
