I’m an estate man through and through. The most expensive pipe I smoke cost me $25 and that was a new cob.
I’m musing about contributing 150-200 towards my small collection. I’m still leaning towards estates purely for more bang for my buck, but happy to be pointed towards something new. Also not fussed if it’s one pipe, or better spent on a few.
I normally smoke smaller pipes, probably group 2-3.
I enjoy my old Brittish (invariably made in France) billards, especially the ones with orofic bits. Wondering about stuff made in Italy.
in terms of bents, while I love the aesthetics of a full bent, ive found they don’t sit quite right with my jaw shape so prefer 1/4 bents. Thinking maybe bent Rhodes or bulldog?
all of my pipes have vulcanite or black acrylic stems, so naturally curious about pipes with coloured bits.
I have no Lovats or pipes with longer shanks, so that is something I’m wondering about too.
yeah so that kinda turned into a rant in which pretty much any pipe could be suggested. My only rule is that if it doesn’t have a significant non-smoking connection (birth year, grandads favourite brand etc), It needs to smoke as good as a cob or what’s the point.
