I have a little bent bulldog Amphora. Haven't smoked it yet. The airway seems a little tight. Quality is decent.

One of my favorites... an Amphora X-tra Canadian... very light, decent grain... reliable smoke... they tend to go for relatively high prices on eBay...

Another case where I never realised a blender also made pipes. This seems to happen more often than I realised.

Got this off pipedia.
-Amphora pipes are made in Holland by the Jos. Gubbels organization, the same company which makes the very well known and loved Amphora Pipe Tobaccos. The pipes are produced in relatively small numbers to a high standard and not commonly found.
The Royal Dutch Pipe Factory Elbert Gubbels & Sons B.V. is the only manufacturer of briarroot tobacco pipes in the Benelux countries where pipes of high quality are made under the brands Big Ben, Hilson, Royal Dutch and Amphora. They also supply numerous smokers' accessories of high quality.
-
I believe that Dr Grabow bought the Amphora pipe name in the 1980's. The pipes with the A that is filled in, in the upper portion of the A are made by Dr Grabow.
