Vintage Kaywoodies and similar are most often under an ounce. The Zulus are usually .9oz. Stanwell featherweights are a nice light carry pipe too.

I have a Brebbia "1960" Series Billard. It's 34.02g - very light compared with what I've smoked so far.
I’d suggest the savinelli author, it looks large but it’s light and more importantly has a wide bit which is easy to clench while driving or I suppose writing!

I've not yet met an Author shape that I'd call light!
As to Savinelli, I did not find anything called an Author shape on the site. Closest was below, but it weighs 55 grams!

Depends on how you clench. If you're biting down you'll notice the weight and fatigue your jaw. If you just let a pipe dangle from you're teeth you'll never know it's there. Those 904s I used to collect ranged from 45 to 50g. All light as a feather.
What you say about how it feels being a result of how you clench it is right on.
But 55 grams is still 55 grams and is not light in my book.

They have this scaled down author shape 321 too
Best smoking pipes based on budget would be a Cob
or Group 1 Dunhill
, both extremely light and smoke like a Train?

Love the Stanwell bamboo. Very light for a clencher, go slow or it will heat up quickly...
I second the Ropp line for small lightweight pipes. They're some of my favorites for everyday puffing, and the price is hard to beat.

I second the Musico, Bones, and Briarworks suggestions. Either that or look for a group 2 pipe - good size, and usually under 30 grams. I personally recently bought one of the new Tsuge Topper pieces. It weighs 26 grams and still has a tall, perfectly flake-suited bowl. I love it.
I saw a few posts suggesting Savinelli Author and that is my suggestion as well. However, I would add that since you want light weight, go with the KS 321, which is a slightly "sized down" version of the KS 320 (both are authors).
I primarily smoke cobs, and my 321 author fits in nicely with them as far as size and weight go. Mine's sandblasted, so it even fits in looks-wise
Although it's of comparable size and weight to most cobs, the author shape gives it a somewhat larger bowl "payload", so it's a nice addition for some tobaccos that benefit from a wider bowl than most cobs.

Is this their Specialty lineup? A pipe initially called something like 'Ladies Pipe' and later renamed to Belgique.
If you fill one with flake and carelessely bite down on it, youll get some in your face, its lightweight, half an ounce give or take a couple of grams.
Brylon. It's space age pipe material, universally praised in it's day by pipe smokers across the globe. Super light, smoked like a dream. It would still be around if those candy asses in the FDA didn't have such a hang up on asbestos...
