Need Help Choosing a New Pipe!

[Rustamgtx]

@Rustamgtx sorry if you wanted one of those Bay Denmark pipes, I got all excited thinking of Mike’s pipes again, I am going to buy the one with the red Cumberland stem.

This one will still be for sale;

No worries, this was a Billiard I bought from a forum member here, and then sold here on the forum, and I’ve been looking ever since for a replacement.

His pipes are awesome!



By the way, in case you didn’t know, no offense to SPC, but you’d pay $200-$300 more from them, a lot cheaper at Tabaccheriacorti.

Are those really tiny Eltang mini pipes for more experienced smokers? Do they easily smoke too hot if you are not carefull?
I was looking for small Castello pipe but Bay Denmark and Tom Eltang has nice minipipes that are much more easily available than Castello.

Yeh... it is best one I can find at this moment, it is still 17gr... but I'm still looking for

I'm not sure if you're still looking, but there is a French dealer on eBay that has NOS Brulor pipes that weigh 15 grams.

Not ultra-light as you describe, but a full size bowl and chamber on a decidedly light weight pipe are the Kaywoodie Saxons. and several other of their series. Not weightless, but decisively light, and with thin chamber walls that still insulate well. It's like a magic trick. I guess it's the briar they use, but they still keep the price really low.

I haven't read this entire long thread, so please forgive me if I repeat something. In scanning this thread I noticed all the pics of straight pipes with very long stems. I think you guys are forgetting your physics. Leverage is as important as weight. A light weight pipe with a very long stem can "feel" heavier in the mouth than a pipe that weights much more but has a short stem. A good way to use leverage in your favor is with a bent stem, which, all else equal, will feel lighter that a straight. Of all the standard shapes I would say an Oom Paul would feel the lightest (that's if you don't mind smoke up your nose and in your eyes). Or a more reasonable choice might be a half bent. A meerschaum is usually pretty light. I'm no fan of corn cobs but I guess they would be among the lightest too.

Are those Tom Eltang mini pipes and Bay Denmarks small pipes designed to certain kind of pipe tobacco?
Do they work well with any kind of pipe tobacco?

I would also like to ask about chamber size. Small pipes usually have small diameter chambers. Are they more suitable for virginias or can I smoke also english blends?
I am just beginner who is looking for good quality pipe that can be used for testing/enjoying many kinds of tobacco.

Hi
You know, I think you will understand which pipe suitable for different sorts of tobacco. It just time you need to understand that.
