Greeting! I'm a newbie for pipe smoking(about 2 months)and i think I'm still at the frenzy phase, e.g. spending my limited money on this mark of pipe and that blend of tobacco, and regret afterwards. Weeks ago, i found this forum and really like it, I learnt so much from you. while I'm reading theads after theads I'm often talking to myself---only have you asked these guys first!! so, this time, I made up my mind to ask advice from masters before I pull the triguer. The thing is, I have some money that allows me to buy a Stanwell featherweight 243 which I drooled over about a month,but after a second thought, since I've cooled down a little during the waiting, I got the idea that maybe a Stanwell Nanna Acorn is really worth the money. The Acorn cost about 20 more dollar than the featherweight, but I think I can wait and save a little for it. Now what torturing me is that I'm a clencher, I like my hands free during smoking, this Acorn appears a bit heavy to me judging from the picture.(I bought a Savinelli Aligator 804, it's a heavy failure for me, i don't think our marrige will last long). is the Savinelli failure is due to its design? could you give me some advice?( there's no pipe store in my town, so I cannot compare them in my hand)
