Of course, since these are all hand-made pipes, the dimensions are averages since even the same style pipe in the same size will all be a little bit different.
That makes a ton of sense, the thing is, some of the pipes ive seen on a different site have similar H and W, but only a 1 inch depth? what gives- poor design?
