  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

What's in your bowl today

Wow that's quite a large piece of morta! Very cool design, congrats!
Thank you, sir.
I asked Marco to satisfy three conditions:
1. Weigh over 100 grams.
2. A rocker foot, with no stability.
3. No hard edges on the bowl (volcano).
I made one annoying mistake. Forgot to ask for an equally large chamber (in my defense, I figured he'd use his largest size chamber bit).
The damn chamber is way undersized for my liking. Though, not at all Marco's fault. This one is on me.
Never been, nor will I ever be, a clincher. I like a big fat heavy pipe when smoking.
Thanks again for your help, Andy. YOU made this happen.

Being morta, you want the bowl walls to be thick as it can heat up quite a bit with some tobaccos and/or an aggressive cadence.
Oh. I did not consider that/know it was an issue. Morta doesn't dissipate heat comparatively?
Funny, I just got through talking with the wife about having it bored out via a pipesmith.
Guess I'll nix that idea. Makes me feel a little better now.
Thank you, Andy.
