    Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

    I'm not so sure... I've smoked both $10 corn cobs and massive gnarly Danish freehands in public with some regularity, but the reaction from bystanders was pretty even. The pipe in your first photo might raise some eyebrows though ? maybe you should smoke it out in public some day, you know...

    Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

    Makes total sense. Someone of your stature might come off as a little cartoonish clenching a tiny prince or similar shape.

    Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

    Surely you know some women willing to give you advice, solicited or otherwise ?

    Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

    I agree. His video on pipe smoker's etiquette really cemented that for me.

    Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

    I find myself leaning towards this camp. Factory pipes just aren't special to me any longer, but those one-of-a-kind artisan pipes? Very appealing, regardless of how ridiculous I may look while smoking it.

    Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

    All viewpoints are welcome, old school or otherwise. These points certainly bring an interesting new dimension to the topic. Anybody here get themselves a date with a cherry aromatic?

    Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

    This whole post was very well-constructed. You've made a great case for choosing your pipes based on whether they're aesthetically flattering to the smoker. I can absolutely see your point. So what shape range do you prefer to stay in?

    Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

    This brings to mind an interesting query- what's considered a "feminine" pipe shape? Stir the pot ?

    Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

    I like your attitude ?

    Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

    That's a fair point, olkofri. Of course a pipe should appeal aesthetically to it's owner, but do you think onlookers are putting much thought into whether your pipe is good looking? Considering how rare it is to spot a pipe smoker in the wild, any onlooker seems more likely to react with...

    Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

    -Implying that watching videos featuring opposing viewpoints is a bad thing I'm acquainting myself with a multitude of perspectives ? Although I am aware of your distaste for Muttnchop Piper. You called him "preachy" if I remember correctly.

    Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

    Yes, he did! ? But alas- I am not so lucky as to count myself among the bearded ladies of the world. For those of us without the ability to grow facial hair- do you think facial shape should be a consideration when choosing which pipe to buy?

    Choosing a Pipe to Suit Your Face?

    Recently I came across one of Muttnchop Piper’s videos entitled “What Shape Should I Choose?” in which he suggests purchasing pipes based on how their shapes correlate with your facial features. ? Have any of you ever applied this concept to your pipe purchases? How many of you avoid certain...

    Wrong Stem?

    Your customer is right. That stummel was designed for a bent stem, like pictured-

    Never Put Your Finger in the Bowl...

    Man, this is a pet peeve of mine. A lot of self-proclaimed pipe 'experts' can't even correctly label the anatomy of a pipe.

    Their Faith Shall Be Rewarded - Etsy Purchase Not a Disaster!

    Excellent post and beautiful pipe. ? I don't know enough about meerschaum to provide any insight on the paint-like bowl coating you experienced, but hopefully somebody here knows how to strip it.

    Your 4 Legged Smoking Companions

    Yes, but we sign up for that kind of heartbreak every time we choose to bring an animal into our families. He was worth it ☺️ big ol bud lived a full life.

    Those belong to our great dane, Merle. Sadly he passed away last week and is no longer with us.

    Your 4 Legged Smoking Companions

    This is Milo. He's half Weim and half German Pointer, but 100% best buddy material. We adopted him 7 months ago from some people who couldn't care for him. He does chew but luckily he hasn't seemed to notice any pipes or tins within his reach.

    Latest EBay Purchase...

    Nothing to be sorry for! ☺ Sounds like you've already put some work into it and I hope it will serve you well. There seem to be a lot of calabashes listed by sellers who have no clue what they're actually selling- people who can't tell the difference between genuine gourd and wood, or ceramic...
