Churchwardens

[jaybird]

Do you ever smoke your churchwardens in public? What is the reaction you get from people?

Ya mate, usually around home though. Sometimes, "that is a different looking pipe", the other nite one lady called it a bong.

You'd get chastised for smoking anything in public, much less a Churchwarden. But if I had one, I would.

I have a Savinelli traditional churchwarden (looks a lot like the one Jeremy Brett smokes as Sherlock Holmes), and a Corncob churchwarden. The cobwarden is really good! I purchased a churchwarden forever stem from Walker Briar Works. With the forever stem, I can make any MM cob into a churchwarden.

I saw the perfect green and black peterson super pretty churchwarden pipe on one of our sponsors sites a couple months ago. That's right, I said super pretty.
Waited a few days to decide how badly I wanted, and needed this pipe... I found out how much I wanted it after I saw it disappear from their site.
After I thought about it, it was a steal at $70ish dollars.
Don't hesitate boys... The perfect warden only comes along so often. :crying:

Got a mini church and I don't often smoke it public.

It's funny how everyone hates them being called gandalf pipes but everyone one seems to like the middle earth pipe weed.

Actually, I'd be willing to add "Gandalf" or "Wizard" to the accepted lexicon of pipe shapes for a churchwarden with a wooden stem. A sub category of churchwardens, if you will.
But then again, calling a churchwarden a "Gandalf" is like referring to "Baba O'Reilly" as "Teenage Wasteland".
