Hello everyone! I’m a pipe smoker from Raleigh NC. My favorite pipe style are full bents. I smoke a lot of orientals blends. Brands tend to be Rattrays, C and D, and Samuel Gawith.
Welcome to the forums! Those blenders make some great tobaccos. I like the look of full bent pipes, but I don't use them because it's sort of a PITA to use pipe cleaners in them.
We always love to see the collections of others, so please post some pics for us to see. Full bents are the classical shape of a pipe for me, but I agree with what Cortez said above, they are a little tricky to clean.
