So what would be the qualities for a good beginner pipe? I ask because I had a person ask me. From what I understand, a pipe with a little thicker walls would be better than thinner walls. Having a bent shank is more comfortable, but really that comes down to preference (from what I understand). A good draw is a necessity. The only thing I couldn't answer was the size of the chamber. Would a larger or smaller chamber be better for a beginner? Or does the chamber size even matter? The pipe he is looking at is an estate pipe, and does have a light layer of cake in the chamber. So any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John
