@motie2 The stem on that one looks “out of place”....strangely bent and over length.....to my eye at least. Maybe a “Frankenpipe”? I’m sure it smokes fine though.
My brand new ea carey came in today and appears to have a meer lined bowl. Is that true of most ea Carey's or is this one fake? Motie2 need your input more than ever!
@Scampi -- I've never seen a meer-lined Carey. Of course, there are a lot of Carey shapes that got by me between1984 and 2016 when I had put down the pipe. That doesn't mean such has not existed. Carey UK has been much more eclectic in their offerings than Carey USA.
It's funny, i'nt it, how the solution to one person's particular need can often be seen as the epitome of ugliness to those who have never experienced that need.
Not that I know if that particular pipe was to fulfill somebody's personal pipe need.
<<The "Magic Inch" System allows cool outside air to enter and mix with the warm tobacco smoke inside the "Magic Inch" chamber. Tobacco tar and moisture, which normally collect in the stem, are squeezed out of the smoke. For over 50 years, the "Magic Inch" System has been providing the coolest, driest, most mellow smoke ever found in the world. From its rich tradition and thousands of satisfied customers, this pipe is sure to be your smoking favorite for life.>>
