The only pipe that I can recall from back in the day that I got from you that was really small was the bamboo elephants foot. Nick must have been smoking the wacky! Where is that dude, I miss him.

This is weird.

something I've learned about designing pipes for head shops, the bowls are always less deep to accommodate a smaller fill. in fact a bowl deeper than about one inch becomes less preferred because depending on the tobacco alternative smoked it's not always being packed to the top. it can be challenging to produce a pipe with a shallow chamber without making the bowl overly short. I should point out the shops I deal with across canada also sell quite a few regular low to mid range tobacco pipes, lots of factory pipes.

I fully expect your next pipe to have a 7" deep chamber.
