In my few months of acquisition, I bought a couple of smaller pipes mainly because 1) they were cheaper; and 2) I'm still in my "try everything" phase, with two dozen blends in my desk and less than half of them sampled, and I prefer starting with a small bowl of something new, and lastly 3) I am making an effort to keep some limits on my tobacco use.
I now have a Brulor apple, a Ropp Etudiant, and a Rattray's Blower's Daughter (thanks again, Skippy Piper!) and petite calabash meer, and I find that I actually like small pipes in themselves. I plan to acquire a few more as my credit allows, and so I'm curious to hear if anyone else likes the lil' pipes, and if so, do you have any favorites? Oh, and before the big bowl bros start posting, you can have my Pete Donegal Rocky 68 when you pry it from my ash-covered bones, so I have nothing against larger pipes!
