Do You Have A Small Pipe?

[ericthered]

This was one of 5 pipes I picked up off cragslist a while back. When I saw it in person I figured, "Well, 4 out of 5 ain't bad". I let it sit as a display piece in my collection while I gravitated to my larger-bowled pipes. Available time for smoking has diminished as life has become busier, bringing me back to this initially overlooked, miniscule meer. It's a perfect 20 - 30 minute smoke, good for the ride in to work or while I'm out grilling dinner.

I have a Tsuge Blowfish. Haven't actually smoked it that often, as I generally prefer longer smokes than it allows for. I'm also leery of scorching the top of the bowl, which is depressingly easy to do. I've got a cruise coming up, so I may pack it along since this particular ship supposedly allows smoking in the casino area (no cigar lounge - that's on the next cruise in September... :D). I'll be able to use matches correctly and perhaps finish breaking the little guy in properly.

I have several group 3/4 princes. Perfect size for me. I don't like 45-60 minute smokes.

I love my small pipes. Here is a shot of them. (I threw the La Antra in there for reference)

Very large hands make it quite the problem to own small pipes :D I suppose my John Bessai Poker is a bit smaller than my other pipes in proportion! But the bowl is quite generous for the size, and it's a WONDERFUL smoker! ::

My little X220 Peterson, Silver Cap Hinge Lid 03 is the perfect vest pocket size.

I've been gravitating to smaller pipes, probably due to my short attention span.
What got me started on Gp1-2s was attending pipe shows and clubs, when I love to sample 6 to 8 blends. My tongue wouldn't survive that many bowls if they were large.

Ain't she cute?

She's a teeny tiny Tinsky:

Here's a little Pete Prevost Volcano With a Bruce Weaver Blast that I picked up yesterday:

It's only 4.5 inches long...one of the smallest volcano's I've ever seen. I just put up a few more pictures of this pipe in the "Pipe Talk" section.
I can't wait for this little guy to arrive in a week or two. I hope it makes it across the pond safely!

I don't have a picture of it, but I have a tiny little Ropp sandblasted vintage Rhodesian that I just picked up. I was a bit surprised at its size when I opened the package to be honest. My daughter's response was "it looks like they forgot to make half of it."
It's like a 'pipe seed' that you could maybe plant and end up with a full grown pipe someday. Anyway, it's a good looker and a good smoker.

Have a Cobbit Dwarf. Just right when I don't have a lot of time. When I first got it my smoking buddy made fun of it, but now he has one!

 

[sablebrush52]

This is such a...personal question, don't you think?

 

[nhpro]

I enjoy smoking my smaller pipes.

I have a MM Mizzou and a Yello-bole premier that I enjoy on short walks.

Yeah I couldn't resist this. I have a few small pipes but the smallest is this odd little meerschaum by Olie Sylvester that I got from a forum member last year. (thanks quincy) It's quite small, maybe group 1 bowl but I like it for stronger tobaccos. I also made a creepy tamper from a 410 shotshell to go with it. :mrgreen:

 

[sparrowhawk]

I did own a couple of diminutive Brebbias that I donated to the Free Pipe Project, and rather regretted doing so--they came in handy from time to time. Guess I'll have to rectify that problem and buy a couple of more--thanks guys!

 

[averagegent]

I'm so jealous, I love small pipes! I'd actually love to commission a small poker one day...

 

[jkrug]

Compared to the pics I see here my pipe is HUGE!! 8O
I do have a couple wee Bruyere St Claude pipes and a Ropp horn stem bulldog that is also small. They don't see a whole lot of action but they smoke nice when I do use them. They're great or a quick little smoke. ::

 

[aldecaker]

My Bruyere St. Claude Extra billiard is my smallest. Good for long-burning flakes, but that's about all I use it for. Extra must mean something other than "extra large", because it is anything but that.

As I am not in to marathon smoking sessions, I prefer small-bowled pipes (~30-35mm deep X 15-20mm dia chambers) but not short-stemmed pipes. Idgaf what the physics majors say, empirically a short-stemmed pipe smokes hotter than a longer-stemmed one.
