BanjoPipe™ banjo pipe multi bowl tobacco metal brass 6 shooter mendo proto USA

Description

​
Introducing
​ ​
the next generation of the portable pipe. Little metal pipes made out
​ ​
of lamp parts featuring a screw on lid was the best portable
solution for many years. It had a single bowl, the fines and odors
would sometimes spill out, eventually the lid would get hard to remove(where's the darn pliers!), then lost or discarded; all that
regular cleaning and loading...
The notion of a pipe with a lid that could select and store several loaded bowls without removal has long intrigue
​​
d me, but designing a pipe that was attractive and easy to clean with moving parts that would not gum up was tricky. I think that's why such a pipe has never been available in a traditional pipe shape. 6 shooters get gummy a
​​
nd you can't carry
​ ​
a loaded one in your pocket. Proto pipes are great, but a small Dia.
​ ​
stem clogs quickly, that's why they come with a poker that gets
​ ​
sticky, and they only have a single bowl!
​​
Through​  ​working out different approaches and ideas, the Banjopipe™ was born.
My​ unique ​patent pending indexing design solves all the problems and now there​ ​is a pipe for serious smokers that truly delivers.
Here​ ​is a list of features and benefits this pipe has to offer:
​
1.Each BanjoPipe™ is custom machined and polished by me, a journey
​​
man
​ ​
machinist with 35 years in the trade. Materials are made from SOLID
​ ​
360 brass and SOLID 416 stainless steel bar stock. The 3/8" stem
​ ​
is "Red Brass"; the only brass allowed for potable water in
​ ​
California. This pipe is NOT made out of thinly coated lamp parts!This pipe will last forever (longer then you or me anyway)
providing you
don't run over it in the driveway, which is not covered (!), but
​ ​
any defects from manufacturing are (but there won't be, because
Personally
machine and polish every part of every single pipe).
The"Banjo" head measures 1-1/2" diameter x 5/8"thick and the pipe is 4-1/2" long over all and weighs about 5 Oz. The BanjoPipe™ smokes cool because there is enough mass to absorb the heat
without being
bulky to hold. Feels nice in your hand and is just long
enough to
avoid burning your eyelashes.
2.No springs, balls or pins to gum up, lose, OR wear out. It's
designed to
be USED and made to last (unlike many things today). The
stainless steel
lid has a machined boss that spins inside the brass body. It's
​ ​
actually a bearing design used for industrial shafts. So, in a pipe
​ ​
lid being spun by hand, this is not going to wear out. You can even
​  ​
index the lid around and use it as a fidget device if you need to!
It feels
nice how it indexes around to the 5 smoking positions and
one closed
position. - Just saying - don't worry. You wont wear it out!
3.Cleaning is simpler than any pipe I've ever used. Of course.
I designed
it that way! The top and bottom are easily removed
for complete
access. No hard to clean areas. The threaded stem is
tapered so
it screws and unscrews easily. No need to over tighten. The
other end
of the stem's diameter is turned down to seat the screens
and tamp
the bowl. Stem has a 5/16 I.D. so does not clog readily
and cleans
easily.
With 5 bowls and generous ports, it takes a LONG time to clog up with multiple bowls to choose from. It's 5 pipes in one.
It's so
easy to clean and takes so long to clog that you actually
look forward
to it when you finally need to clean this pipe.
Never have an unusable clogged pipe again.​​
No finish
to wear off due to it's solid alloy construction. Like a
good knife
, it delivers hand rubbed beauty that actually increases overtime and with use.
A jewelers polishing cloth is the easiest way to restore and maintain it's luster.
4.Saves product! If you are like most smokers, you appreciate a freshly loaded bowl. There are a few ways to enjoy the unique features this multi-bowl pipe offers. First, of course, you can load enough product in this pipe for a whole weekend. No more loading pipes uncompromising situations, dark alleys, in the wind, on the ski slope,etc, etc.... and, since you don't have to remove the lid to load, you won't lose it. After lighting, turn the lid to the closed position to cut off the air and snuff the cherry. Or,load a single pinch in each bowl and enjoy a fresh smoke each time!This method truly saves on product as you are not burning up more than you are smoking. You get a fresh tasteful smoke each time ( a really nice way to smoke, but inconvenient until now).
And,If you're sharing, everyone gets a fresh smoke!
Or,load different blends for the right blend at the right time. Very handy for legal medicinal use.
Etc...Etc...you
​
​
will continue to discover many positive features never available in
​ ​
other pipes. But mainly you will enjoy having a
​ ​
quality, sequenced numbered piece, made in Oregon that
​ ​
you'll be proud to own, and a fresh smoke that's always ready to be
​ ​
enjoyed.
5.Each beautiful piece is precision machined, hand polished,
and designed
for beauty, function, and durability.
Comes with
a black satin bag and 5 screens. Does not come with stand
in picture
.
This unique
patent pending pipe makes a GREAT gift, and is
entirely machined
right here in the USA by me.
The
​ ​
B
anjopipe™ you will receive will be same/similar to one in photos. There may be minor "witness" marks (native surface marks) on the brass body as I start with 1.5" brass (the finish
dimension
) and polish it. Any brass with large dents or marks is not used. Each pipe is unique in that way, though the parts are machined to tight tolerances and are interchangeable.
