Beefier Pipes

[badbriar]

So, I have found that, over the years, I prefer slightly longer, thick-walled pipes. The heavier bodies seem to fit well in hand and the thicker walls surely result in a cooler pipe to hold. My favorites include a few Neerups, 4th Generations, Petersons and even a couple of sub premium Lorenzo Italian Volcanos.
Anyone have suggestions on moderately priced names to look into that are known for making more substantial pipes?

This Nording is pretty thick-walled and voluminous. Don’t know the model or line but I feel like all my Nordings are a great value

Moderate is relative. I think that Northern Briar's pipes are priced very moderate in comparison to other English pipes. But, you may want to look at Peterson's offerings also. But, NB pipes.... damn fine smokers.

How moderate to you mean when you say moderate?

Radice makes some pretty heavy walled pipes.

Style seems more key or shape dublins freehand volcanos all tend towards chunky wide walls

Boswell makes some nice thick big pipes...

 

[RustiePyles CPG]

This is the beefiest pipe I can find.

Brebbia’s Fat Bob line of pipes are all nice and chunky, but I don’t know if the price points falls under moderate or not. The Savinelli 320 KS Author is a good thick walled pipe and comes in many variants and price points, with the Rossi versions (Savinelli made) usually costing less (Savinelli Series III might be even less expensive, but harder to find now and might actually cost more because of supply and demand).

Moretti makes thick walled pipes.
Artisan pipes at a relatively modest cost - briar and morta (if you’re so inclined.
Marco is a gentleman and responds very quickly to queries
I have several of his pipes - both briar and morta and I’m happy with them all

Artisans in general are a good way to go.

Randy Wiley makes some beefier pipes.

If you tend towards britwood, Lane era Charatan pipes from the 60s and 70s could get pretty beefy and show off some very pretty grain while doing it.

I just couldn’t get along with Peterson’s No. 127 Dublin shape. I asked Doug Finlay for his take on a still compact, but beefy Dublin which I am enjoying as I type. I think it’s perfect!

My tastes lean towards the OP's almost exactly. So I'll second a recommendation for Boswell's pipes. For artisan pipes, his prices are fair. But if that's too rich for your blood, I'd say Nording would be a fine choice, especially if you like Neerups.

Beautiful pipe!

Freehand's are the best bet but finding a cheap one could be hard.

This is what came to my mind first. Here’s an example of a morta he’s made:
