Tom Thumb Pipes-Who's Familiar?

claypipesarchaeologist · Jul 25, 2014

Found this little guy on etsy. It's a Tom Thumb, made in Italy.

I've found some more on ebay, but pipedia has nothing to say about them. They seem to be an exclusively nose warmer make.

This jerk sells new ones on ebay, but won't let you select which you want. They range from 3 to 4 inches.

Anyone know anything about these little guys? They're horribly cute, perfect for being out and about, and their prices are decent ($15-$25), but they could just be junk...

I'd rather pay a little more and get something that at least conforms to a stock photo. This guy could hand you

any old thing. It could be good, but it is likely it isn't.

I have one I bought from Fink Cigar Company years ago. They also didn't allow a choice but I was happy with what I got. It still serves me well when called upon.

Hmm. Thanks, tuold

I have an older one I bought as an estate for around $12. It is very tiny, but smokes well enough.

The bowl diameter is about .500, as is the depth. With rubbed out flake, I can squeeze about 20min. out of it.
