Anybody own or smoked on of these? Intriguing looking pipe I've always considered buying, but never done it. There's an estate Minie Ball on smokingpipes.com right now I was thinking about grabbing during their estate pipe sale. Was wondering if anyone had any experiences good or bad with one before I pull the trigger? I own several Boswell's and haven't bought one I didn't love yet....

I've seen them but have never smoked one. I know they're made to look like the minnie ball ammunition used during the American Civil War. I think the pipes are neat. :)

Exactly, I'm semi in the market for another churchwarden and have considered one of these simply because I like the look and appreciate the history. Finding an estate on smokingpipes during a sale is hard to pass up. Just looking for that "best pipe I own!" comment to justify the buy in my mind :rofl:

I saw that one too... thought it might be neat to smoke while I was shooting my 1853 Enfield out at the range. I'd probably get even more attention than just the "old coal burning rifle" attracts. ;)
Buy it! Save me from my PAD.
