Impressive display of cobdom, Banjo. I once had a HUGE Irwin S. Cobb "pot," I guess you would call it. Well over an inch in chamber diameter, and I'm trying to be conservative in recollection. No idea where they got corn that size for making a pipe. It may have been a radioactive mutant for all I know, because that's the way it smoked. After being lit it would develop a red hot "cherry" right in the center of the bowl, and from that point on you got nothing but hot air to taste. Needless to say, I tried every variety of puffing, packing, lighting, cut, etc. that I knew to change the outcome, but nothing helped. So I tossed it. Wish I had kept it just as an oddity, but back then a pipe to me was just a mundane smoking instrument.
