Pipe Of The Day (POTD)

[Blade Boy]

the interesting thing about the Bartlett upside-down pipe is, you unscrew the cap to pack the baccy, then re-screw the cap and lgiht from underneath through the screen.

alas, you can't tamp the tobacco, and its' not a great smoker by any menas but certainly is a neat novelty piece :)

That's "interesting" , does it drop ash all over?

I've never even heard of it. That is pretty cool though. If there was a way to tamp it you think it would smoke good?

that's what the mesh wiring is for on the bottom. it keeps the ash in the pipe and allows you to light from the bottom

again, the design flaw is that you cannot tamp it... and, alas, earth's gravity isn't sufficient to self tap the tobacco

suppose one can smack it against one's palm to 'tamp' it... it's more of a novelty piece for me.

certainly a neat pipe though!!

I'm sure it would. the briar is decent (very light w/o the metal cap screwed on) but next time you smoke a pipe experiment by not tamping it at all. that'll give you an idea of this pipe's smoking character after 10 -15 minutes of slow puffing

next time I smoke it I'll try 'tamping it' by gently but firmly tapping the bottom against my palm - actually, now that I think of it I guess I could unscrew the top and simply tamp the tobacco itself.... never thought of that!!!)

I would also imagine that if one did smoke it regularly it would get tar build up along the sides - got this one used on ebay 15 years ago or so and it needed a decent cleaning then

I recently smoked my first bowl of the Magnum Opus, a very good blend but little too spicy for my taste, I don't think I will re-up on it.
