    Description

    Carey Magic Inch Pipes claim to be the coolest smoking pipes in the world.  The "Magic Inch" is an air chamber inserted between the imported briar bowl and the vented mouthpiece. The inch is vented at the top and at the bottom, which allows cool outside air to enter and mix with the warm tobacco smoke inside the "Magic Inch" chamber. As the cool outside air enters the chamber, condensation of the moisture in the smoke occurs. Tobacco tars, oils, and moisture, which normally collect in the stems of old-styled pipes, are squeezed out of the smoke. The residue drops to the bottom of the chamber and is absorbed by the Papyrate filters.  The pipe must be smoked with the filters or altered to smoke without them.  The pipe is in good condition.  The Zytel stem looks great.  This straight billiard is about 5 3/4 inches long.  I do not know the dating on the pipe, but I'm pretty sure it's 1980s or earlier.
    This pipe is from the estate of David Windsor/Bufflehead Pipe & Tobacco (Kansas City).
    I'm including a box of 50 Carey Replacement Filters.
