Help Me Pick a Nose Warmer

[Brig]

Trying to expand my arsenal.

I typically smoke my budget Mr. Brog 21 when around the yard doing yardwork. I like it because it clamps well and the bent stem helps keep clear of my face so I can focus on what I'm working on. The only problem is it can get a bit heavy hanging from the teeth for an extended period because of the size, so I'm looking to find a smaller/lighter pipe that can hang comfortably for an extended period of time. Think the bent stem is still best for this purpose. Open to different materials.

Any suggestions/recommendations are welcome!

I can't help with a recommendation but so glad you added the word "warmer" in the title.

Oh, snap, those are supposed to be worn above the waist?

If you run an internet search for "tobacco sport pipe" or "opera pipe" you will be surprised how many different and reasonably priced short pipes are being made these days. I really like a 5 1/2" pipe when I'm out in the yard doing work. Good luck on your search.

I think a wonderful pipe is a handmade Julius Vesz Raindrop that would fill the bill nicely. A little pricey but what a smoke and it won't send smoke up into your face like a nose warmer will.

These are a couple of small nose warmers I often carry when travelling
- small and light. Perfect for short 20min smokes


Shorter Lovats fit the bill


As do Peterson Shorts

Looking them up, they definitely seem to be competitors for my needs here

I do like me some meerschaum

Missouri Meerschaum Pony Express or Eaton. Yes they're straight, but they are so light you can clench them easily for twice as long as they smoke.

Yep, Korney has the market kornered.

The more I look at it the more I like, but it seems they are tough to find and at that price, I'd be afraid to damage it running around the yard. But, I might have to pick one up for lounging around with

You have to buy new Vesz's from his website or when you find one up for sale on the various place that list pre-owned or estate pipes.

In seconding suggestions above, there's a pretty good sale on some near Meer pokers.

I was thinking of the old "You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends nose......warmer".

 

[johnnyflake]

I can recommend this pipe based on comments from two old friends who have one.

I have been thinking about one for myself.
