Please Give Advice for an Aromatic Pipe.

tarheel1 · Mar 14, 2016

So I am having a huge dilemma. Once and a while I want something sweet a cherry or blackberry blend. I have a cob I have been using but really don't care for it. I am looking for a pipe to enjoy aromatic blends in. Problem being is it is hard for me to find a cheap pipe that is large enough for my tastes and I am worried about using a Ferndown for aros. I know that is the snob in me that is preventing it. I was looking at some Peterson pipes in xl90 and x220, but the ones I like are around the price of a Ferndown and having trouble justifying 200 for a Peterson to smoke aros in.I have Ferndowns lined up in production for a year or two and that is why it is hard to justifybspending that kind of money on anything else. I could really use some advice.
Fixed thread title, please see rule number 9. Pertinent portion: Please capitalize words in the thread titles. Thank you, Robert.

The stock answer is "320".
If you want to look further than that, pretty much anything here should do.

Well requirements would be a group 5 sized bent pipe such as a billiard or apple.. I just find bent pipes more comfortable.

+1 Savinelli 320KS

The 320 does not give enough bend. I don't find clenching comfortable.

deuce26 · Mar 15, 2016

Gotcha. I had an issue with it at first, but I put a rubber bit on it and now I find it very comfortable to clench.

If you want a large and full-bent pipe, then Peterson's Kinsale or Sherlock Holmes series are for you. SH Original, Baskerville, Watson, and Lestrade are very comfortable to clench.

tarheel1 · Mar 15, 2016

Well as I stated I have trouble justifying a 200+ Peterson when I can get a Ferndowns for that. Sherlock Holmes pipes are in that category. There are the Kinsales but ideally I want to be u der 100.00 if possible.

Pipes and numbers....need more Briars to know what's going on. Every briar I have is from a basket. Great pipes all of them, but I need to go ahead and buy a pipe in a specific group, in a specific size, so I know what's going on when numbers are thrown around. Interesting thread.

Check out the Bob Clark pipes at Pipestuds consignent shop. I have no experience with these pipes, but I know Pipestud and he would not be selling them if they were crap. You have to scroll down to see them.

Johs and Neerup have some fairly large pipes, and alot of them can be had at or around $100.

tarheel1 · Mar 15, 2016

It does not have to be a new pipe, but preferably cleaned and sanitized. I don't have the ability to clean a used pipe properly where I am living. I have checked out a few places that refurbs pipes and checked out the bay. My local shop told me today there will be a Peterson trunk show in a month or two and I get great discounts. Btw if I could find a large enough bent basket pipe I would be all for it. I have even thought about a falcon,

Savinelli makes "Hercules" series that may fit the bill. Search them out.

The idea of an aromatic pipe makes me twinge. I'd rather smoke aromatic tobacco. Ha ha.

tarheel1 · Mar 15, 2016

Ha ha. A pipe for aromatic tobacco you silly goose. Its not often. Maybe once every couple months, but I don't want to shoot my good pipes lol. Its like I am a great chef but once and a while I want that Dr appt canned cheese nachos from a ballpark or bowling alley, but not on my fine China.

I'd say get a bucket pipe. Pipes and Cigars has lots of cheap pipes that seem like they'd be in the bucket category. Plus, I think it's good to have a few cheap pipes on hand to compare to your more expansive briars. Sometimes cheap pipes can out perform your luxury pipes, IMO.

I have five estate pipes that I demoted to my aromatics. But, sometimes I'll smoke an English in them to get that Frog Morton effect going on.

derfargin · Mar 15, 2016

I'm just surprised you can't find something in the "less than $100 price range" that you mentioned. For $100 you can get two decent pipes.
