My recently acquired Sasieni Ashford is pretty lithe at 35 grams, the lighest on my rack. My sweet spot is between 45 to 50 grams. You can see the perspective in the group shot, with some "Extraordinaire" size Comoys, etc.
It would be my Paulo Becker Strawberry Wood Dublinn @ 19.845 grams. Sorry, no photo, my 1st generation iPad doesn't work with Flickr!

Savinelli's Piumas, they actually don't even register on any of my scales, except my Carats scale. Nice smokers!!
Easy, my Pete Group 1 Belgique, because it is an extra small pipe. But if we say lightest
relative to tobacco capacity -- and I don't have weights on these pipes -- I'd say two
of my 1/4 bent Dublins, a Britannia smooth, and Johs blast, both of which are
extraordinarily light for their sizes. I think the briar used had been aged a long time,
and neither one was expensive.

The lightest pipe I have is one I use fairly often. It's this little 6 inch Londoner prince with a small bowl. Weighs in at 23 grams. I love the way it smokes and use it for stronger tobaccos.
My lightest is a Rad Davis, Brandy/Bulldog that weighs in at 38 grams. My sweet spot is like Al 45-50.
Mine is an old BBB petite @ 20g
A grp2 Finlays Knobby @ 21.4g
An Ashton XX lovat @ 26.5g
Most of my pipes fall in the 30-45g range.
six, thanks buddy.
I actually owned a pipe not long ago that was actually too light. It was a Rad Davis Belge that weighed 28 grams. The reason it was too light was because the walls were very thin and it required way too much attention from me to make it a cool smoker. I had to consistently concentrate on my cadence or it would heat up and that is not how I enjoy smoking. I like to light it up, smoke at my natural cadence and never worry about getting a pipe to warm. I learned a valuable lesson that a pipe can be too light. I now pay close attention the the thickness of the walls of my pipes. With a bamboo pipe you can have it really light and have thicker walls as the bamboo adds little to no weight to the pipe.
