In Praise of Pocket Pipes

[sallow]

All my pipes are on the smaller side but my current favorite pocket pipe is this little french number, a Waille. I got it on ebay and I doubt I would ever find another. I also have a savinelli lollo which is a bit heavy for its size but not too bad.

Thanks for the kind word, I did take in a lot of great info with your post. I was just thinking to myself that I had made a mistake with the tread and am glad to see your post. I will let you know as soon as I make a choice. Thanks again friend and I hope to see more of your post soon. I am kinda hit and miss with the site from day to day. So if you guys don't see me around, I'm here just very busy. Another thing I have noticed, due to not being able to get back to some of my friend request in a reasonable time some of you have pulled your request. It's not that I don't want every person on the site as my friend just please allow me some time to get back to my iPad. At work I don't just sit around on the government computers, even though I'm in charge I work side by side with My Marines and I have to deal with a lot. So with that said please allow me the time to accept your request. Thanks again you all.

I recently acquired a small pipe with a bent stem labeled "Little Stubbies" Imported Briar. It has an outstanding dark grain.

Thanks for the replies all of you.

Tsuge and Stanwell, the Stanwell people have a pipe I believe it's called a feather weight or feather lite, I have one small , for a 10 to 15 min smoke, fits in your pocket, my tsuge is a small tomato and really a good smoke. Older Parker's are small and good smokers.

I have found a great pocket pipe with Yello-bole, particularly the Tweed and Checker lines. They're smaller, about 3/4 inch bowl and 5" long so it fits well in a pocket or pouch and holds a smaller amount of tobac for a shorter smoke. They're also durable, and just great smokers. Highly recommended.

I have a "Peterson" Calabash, rusticated, small pipe, used lightly. It's too small for me. If there were a pipe club nearby I would offer to swap it for a regular size pipe.

Oh, one last note on the usefulness of pocket pipes: they are great pipes to test out a new tobacco, rather like a wine snifter.

I have the MM Eaton. Its bowl is a bit bigger than the pony express. I also have a few no name pipes under 5 inches that are good smokers.

Here are the two pocket pipes I use once in a while.

Those pocket pipes are beautiful.

I've been looking at a similar model from Rattray's.
