Lord of the Ring Churchwardens

[jorgesoler]

I haven't got any churchwardens in my pipe collection yet, so I have been planing on buying a Lord of the Rings like pipe, but I haven't been able to find anything in his range so far. Some time ago I saw this YouTube video about a pipe maker who specialized in making these, but I don't seem to be able to find it again. Any recommendations?

Stay away. Generally these are made just to capitalize on a trend, and many are made out of rosewood and other ilk, with even less regard given to their mechanics. If you want to feel like Gandalf, grab a Stanwell HCA and put the long stem on it would be my recommendation. Might could find a quality estate churchwarden for fairly cheap on the bay.

Vauen makes a set of LotR inspired churchwardens. What I like about them is that they have an acrylic mouth piece so you're not smoking on the end of a piece of wood which may become wet and split. Savinelli also has the Qandale series that I think look pretty good too
