Mini?

Chacom Punch 340. Great pocket pipe. They also make a pot version. However, I cannot find any for sale. Nearly actual size as the image.

Here are some short pipes under $100

There are a lot of new pipes from the Peterson Sportsman line on EBay you should check out.

I have a collection of Savinelli Piumas... but... for someone in your situation, I would suggest that you either just pack a pipe half full, or go ahead and pack it all the way, smoke it for 15-30 minutes, and then let it go out. You can snuff a pipe quickly by putting your thumb over the bowl and sucking on the stem, and the lack of oxygen just extinguishes the ember. then, when you get a chance, relight the pipe.

The advantage is that a bowl size and shape affects the smoke taste, for me. The smaller pipes, can scorch a tongue, and make the flavor weak depending on what blend you are smoking. A regular pipe that you already know will give you the best flavor, will do so for 15-30 minutes also. And, unlike cigarettes, where tobacco rules you, you rule the pipe. You can just snuff the bowl, and come back to it for an even better flavor. This is what we on the forum will call the Delayed Gratification Technique. And, it works best for Virginia, VaPers, and Virginia based blends. But, there are some who smoke latakias and aromatics that have reported that it worked for them also.
My Piumas even though they are .5" wide x a tad shy of 1" deep will give me a splendid smoke with Virginias for almost an hour. But, for me to enjoy a small pipe, I still need time and smoke slow.
There is a ratio of depth to width that will make smaller chambers smoke just as long as bigger chambers, so you just have to look for shallow pipes instead of just smaller volume, if length of time is an issue.

YMMV

Meers are tougher then most give them credit for but if you want a small pipe then look at Ropp pipes, Savinelli Petites, Peterson builge or calabash. I have a few tiny meers and a couple peterson calabashs that are great for a 10-20 min smoke.

The Savinelli Minuto is actually being marketed to cigarette smokers who want a short smoke.

I had a minuto and while a decent pipe you can get two or three yellobole pugs for the same price and they smoke just as good. Plus the minuto had a weird little filter system where you slid cigarette filters into the stem.

+1 Yello-Bole Pug, good smokers

My vote goes for the Chacom Punch 340.
Thanks Voorhees!

I'm with Cosmic. Just pack a regular pipe and smoke it as you need it. Besides Virginia's are better with delayed gratification.

I've heard this suggestion for years, my problem is I might feel like Virginia at lunch and VaPer or english after work. Some also suggest filling a bowl half full for a shorter smoke and I always ended up filling it more then intended. For me a smaller pipe is the way to go as I can always fill it again for a second smoke if I so choose, especially if its one of my many small meers. But that is just what works best for me and not saying others are wrong in their methods.

My tiny Willmer Lightweight. Great for a 15 min smoke…and just so happens to have flawless grain…beautiful little pipe.

This small Luciano Apple is an excellent smoker and my go to when I want a short smoke. Especially during a break at work. Or sitting by the pool as you can see from this pic.

Here are just a few of my "mini" pipes. In all honesty they see a lot more use then my big ones do. I included a regular size BIC lighter for size reference.

<p>Paint your MM Minis with whatever color paint you most prefer. The average person not interested in pipes will probably never know they are corn cob pipes. Problem solved for the $2 the acrylic paint will cost you at Wally World.
