Depends on my mood, I guess, or what's handy. I like bent bulldogs & lovats a lot, plus generic billiards & such, but probably about 40-60% of the time I'll go with Danish or other freehands.
Winslow seems get much positive feedback, I think my purchase quite promising.
There is absolutely no need for excuses. You haven't done anything wrong. And impressions are always subjective. I think we were referring to two different terms. You meant the size (volume) of the pipe bowls and I had in mind the thickness of the walls you mentioned. From that point of view, there is no contradiction in this case. ?
Yes sir, that's sounds we see quite same point but just from different side.
Are you from Indonesia? I ask this because I met quite a few Indonesians during my studies in Ffm/Germany. A few of them also smoked clove cigarettes. Personally, I honestly didn't like those cigarettes that much We lived in the same (mutinational) student apartment tower back then. Each floor had a communal kitchen where people met to eat or chat. Even at midnight because AFN (radio) at that time brought the best rock songs live, & and we sat there, listened, smoked and drank tea, played chess or let our dreams run free. But before I get too chatty, let's get back to the pipes. With your unused Winslow, you've got yourself a swell pipe that's priced right, too.
Yes I am Indonesian. Its easy right to recognize Indonesian by the smell of their smoke. And that's why I quit smoking cigarette (clove cigarette), it leave strange smell on your finger and your mouth gonna taste bad at the morning.
One last Winslow story, since you obviously haven't broken in your new pipe yet. Do you plan to smoke aromatic or nonaromatic tobaccos in it? I like tobaccos that are not so strongly flavored and still taste like tobacco and not just like fruits, spices or drinks. But that's just my taste.
Me too, I don't smoke something smells like fruit, cake or anything that too far from what it should be (tobacco)..still not decide but I think about Lane HGL, since it's stand between aromatic and non-aromatic.
I have no experience with Winslow pipe before, its something new for me. But call me reckless, made a purchase with not enough knowledge and ask here after the package was arrived.
I am with you on that. I normally look at a pipe that is 3 or 5 hundred and think that's a bit much when I can get a pipe I like just as much for around 100. Though I do have one pipe that broke the 1000 mark and I love it and love that I own it. But if it wasn't so special to me in several fronts there is no way I would have bought it.
Yup bob, I just try to be realistic and not being fanatic in any price range. If its a good pipe, quite rare (at least here), come in good condition, fit on my pocket etc I'll affort it. $50-800 for me a reasonable range now. But I totally aware that this smoking pipes world is a seductive game, somehow will drag you to dance with the devil and bring you up to the next level. At that point I must say thanks to the low availablity here lol
well you're in a good place to possibly find more. Being here and all.
