Hey guys! So I had an idea, I want to buy a pipe for when im traveling. But im not just looking for your average pipe, I want to talk about, and figure out, what would be the IDEAL travel pipe. I know there is rarely a 'best' but just for the fun of it, I want to seek out and get some opinions on it. I have other pipes that I already have as my regular indoor pipe, but those wont cut it for this.
Here's the criteria: what would let me drive and smoke, walk and smoke, walk and tamp, light, in different weather conditions, with or without hands..
what comes to mind for me is a pipe with a lid: something that I can stick the tobacco in, close the lid, and head out the door. I thought it would be a neat idea. However there is only one pipe ive seen with this and its the very expensive peterson silver lid pipes that are sold out.
It would have to be very light, and also something compact so it could fit in coat pocket easily and be transported with ease.
Also the shape should be something that makes it easy to clinch and not use hands for long periods of time, ex: driving, working with your hands, etc
I also imagined something that could maybe even hold your tools for you. I saw in the movie Hateful 8, samuel l jackson smoked a pipe that had a tamp holder on it. That sounds pretty nifty, but far from necessary.
Also, ive heard of wind caps but never used one. maybe one of those could work instead of a dedicated lid, and would help with wind.
anyway, just throwing out some ideas. What would you say would fit this criteria?
