Short and Fat

[bcharles123]

My wife wants me to get a short fat pipe. Why? I have no idea but I must oblige!. She likes the Lomma smooth tomato, but it is fairly pricey at about $500.
Any other suggestions?

Happy wife! Happy life! I believe you have heard the only opinion that really matters. Mine would be superfluous, I believe.

Not real short, but a Fat Bob from Brebbia would work, about $160.

That's a good looking pipe! If your wife approves, assuming she saw the price, go for it!! If you're worried about the amount throw it on the credit card! Buy now, pay later, there couldn't possibly be a downside to that!

My wife would just like me to get a fat one... period.

Pull the trigger before she change her mind.

I'd get a moderately priced fat pipe first, and see if you like it. If you're going into the hundreds on a pipe,

I'd get something you are sure you like. I think Chacom has some chubbies that would serve as a test and

not cost so much. But that's just me. If your wife is really game for this, maybe just do it and see how it goes.

Tall & Fat
No, wait, you said "SHORT and Fat." Nevermind!

What about a Radice AeroBilliard?

Savinelli 320 gets my vote. Short, fat, cheap, and a fantastic smoker.

I bet you could sell T-shirts with that slogan in every smoke shop in the world. :D
BTW, I am not short.
(to the OP, listen to your wife, they know these things.)

Here's another sharp one that won't break the bank.

I thought they were talking about me. :laughat:

I would immediately take her comment as something about my physical attributes, or lack thereof.

Thanks all! Im leaning towards the Icarus and will keep an eye on the Boswell page. Its all good in any case!

That is a nice pipe and I have heard good things about lomma pipes but if it were me I would keep looking. I am sure many american artisan pipe makers like Thomas James, Joe Nelson (Old Nellie), Scot Thile, Ryan Alden, Nate King, Briar Bird (Jason Cochey) and others would make you the pipe style of your choosing and probably save you some money in the mean time.

I like to think that we've evolved enough as a society where we could see past a pipes hight and weight!! It's not a pipes physical appearance that defines who it is, but it's the soul, how a pipe spends its time, deals with conflict, tis these things that define a pipe... Be it tall and skinny or short and fat.... These things matter not, no more than a pipes color! Don't look down or up at a pipe, be it short n fat or dark or light. Pipes of all types are all pipes. :lol:
