I am trying to decide between these three makes of pipes. The Meerschum has a little carved design and a long shank/stem. Should be a cool smoker. The Big Ben is a short pipe with a classic straight shank/stem. The Wiley is sculpted pipe with a very good grain pattern.
Which pipe to purchase?
The Meerschum will be my first of its type. But I understand this type of pipe is fragile. The Big Ben I would consider my "work horse" pipe that I will smoke most of the time. It also will fit in my pocket for travel. But the one I already have took two months to break in. The Wiley is simply a beautiful high quality pipe that I would only smoke at home. I already have a Big Ben that is different from this above mentioned one. And I do have a Wiley, which is my first quality pipe.
What do you guys think?
