I'm thinking about a Poker style pipe. One option is Mark Tinsky. What about Fat Bastard pipes? I'm not interested in a stubbie, but something with a mid-length stem, which FB shows on his site. He also has a Dublin that looks interesting.
Is his website current? Is that really all his pipes cost? Are the Unique Bends already made or are his pipes made after the order is placed? I love his designs. How is the quality compared to, for example, Radice?
I live in an apartment and when I smoke cigars the place sometimes gets thick with smoke. Not so with pipes. I like that. It's a hassle in the winter with cigars, having to open a window and switch the fan on high to keep from setting off the smoke alarm. Cigar tobacco must be "smokier". Is that...
