I have two tiny vintage pipes that measure about 4 inches in length. I never smoke them. But I think they’re fun to have in the pile.
Do You Own a Pipe 5” or Less in Length?

I’ve got a few under 5”. Here’s the ones I smoke the most, 2 Barbers, 2 Blakemars, 2 Peterson’s & a Dunhill.
Great collection of sub-5” pipes. I especially like the design of the Barber pipes shown, which led me to access Barber’s website in the UK. A great website, which frustratIngly came with this salutation: “Unfortunately we are no longer able to send products to USA, Canada or India.” I wonder if Britain’s exit from the EU changed that prohibition or if it’s a restriction imposed internally by British authorities? Bummer, though.
No idea. Some British etailers ship to the US & some don’t.
GQ Tobaccos we’re selling the exact same shape in a Tan coloured blast, last time I looked.
Here are five new little soldiers fresh off the FedEx plane from Italy today. Break-in period starts momentarily and I can’t wait. I’m going to start them off with an 8-year old cellared blend from Poor Richard’s Tobacconist which was located at Station Square in Pittsburgh, but which unfortunately closed a few years ago. That was a great brick and mortar.
The pipe with the white stem and blue rusticated bowl came direct from the Paronelli store in Italy. I love those pipes.

as time passes I seem to prefer shorter and shorter pipes, not exclusively, still have some longer/larger pipes I love.
but most of the stuff that is in my rotation now is around 110-120mm, I seem to struggle less with tongue bite than in the past, so that is less of a problem, and they are very comfortable to clench, and usually sport smaller bowls which I also seem to prefer lately. but my taste changes and there are always exceptions.

An old Larry Roush "fishing pipe" coming in at 4.5"....it fits inside my shirt pocket and is with me when go trout fishing.
It’s interesting how our tastes evolve over time, isn’t it? Smaller pipes can indeed be easier to handle and clench, and if they’re helping you avoid tongue bite, that’s a great bonus. It’s all about enjoying the experience, and it seems like you’re doing just that.
I have a few of them. I like them for short smokes when trying a new to me tobacco. They tend to have smaller bowls and that works well for the purpose.
I prefer longer pipes, 2 of the 4 I own are churchwarden class pipes and one of the short ones is probably going in the classified here when I get to the required post count.
That is truly a nose warmer, and it is a real beauty. Would you mind telling us what it is and maybe a photo of the top of the bowl area?
