About This Pipe

Countless gadgets, alterations, and gimmicks have been produced by pipemakers and manufacturers. In point of fact, just yesterday Brian and Sykes were sticking several "magnet pipes" to the air duct at the end of the hallway, and to my ceiling fan as well. The carburetor pipe was perhaps a less entertaining, but also probably much more useful notion, presumably providing for a more even and stable burning of tobacco by allowing air to flow through the bottom of the bowl.
