Big Ben Vintage "Mega Pot" - Early 1980s New Old Stock
A Monumental, 96-Gram Desk Giant with a Massive 32mm Chamber & Exhibition-Grade Grain
For smokers who crave the ultimate long, cool, slow-burning lounge experience, this early 1980s Big Ben is an absolute titan. Remaining entirely New Old Stock (NOS) and unsmoked, this monumental Dutch-made "Mega Pot" is a jaw-dropping masterwork of pure presence, engineered specifically for long afternoons of deep relaxation at your desk.
The Architecture of a Titan This pipe is an absolute powerhouse, boasting an incredible 170mm length and a thick-walled, insulating 55mm wide bowl. The real showstopper, however, is the colossal 32mm chamber diameter—perfectly suited for wide, complex blends that require maximum breathing room to open up their full flavour profile. Despite its commanding 96-gram weight, the flat, broad-shouldered shank lines provide exceptional visual balance.
While giant factory stummels of this scale are usually riddled with fills, this premium piece features an exhibition-worthy block of flawless briar. A mesmerizing, tight uniform flame grain wraps perfectly around the entire circumference of the bowl, transitioning to a dense sea of intricate birdseye across the sprawling rim. Dressed in a rich, traditional warm walnut stain, it is finished with Big Ben's historic, crisp inlaid white "Circle B" logo on the vulcanite stem.
Curation Notes:
Condition: Vault Mint / New Old Stock. Completely unsmoked, unlit, and pristine. The massive raw briar chamber is perfectly clean, and the original vulcanite stem retains its high-gloss, jet-black factory polish.
Nomenclature: Stamped with crisp, deep definition on the smooth underside panels: Features the classic BIG BEN over HAND MADE.
