Hello everyone,
I've been lurking here for awhile and finally joined, figured a pipe review would make a good first post!
I just picked up a black, barrel bowled BC petite churchwarden from my local shop (city cigar vancouver) Ive been hovering around this pipe ever since I saw in the the last sherlock holmes film (pictured in avatar) Ive also been wanting a small pipe that is easy to clench when walking around outside. The bowl is coated in what resembles an ash mix type material, the test draw seemed tight but after running a pipe cleaner through it some of this material was cleared from the airhole and the pipe drew fine. After loading it up tightly with some London Mixture I went outside. Surprisingly, this smoke lasted 30 minutes! With the size of this bowl I was expecting 10-15m tops so I was quite pleased, the perfect amount of time for a short walk. The small bowl diameter and thin stem resulted in a concentrated flavour that was also surprising. Overall a highly recommended little pipe!
