Rode hard and abused. But it has a second life. I wish the stampings were a bit clearer. It would be nice to know the age.
I recently got this old GBD pipe, a mini churchwarden. It is more a 'five minute' pipe.
The bowl is 28mm high, 16cm long.
I have only cleaned it a bit but it needs some serious TLC... there is a crack in the mortise. But it still is airtight.
This 'Victory' bulldog pipe with its length of 11,5cm is a nice 10 minute pipe that already had some TLC a while ago.

I had this little pipe stored somewhere for years in a plastic bag with more similar old & used pipes but only recently saw its true beauty. It is actually a very nice and small, XS bulldog with its 11,5cm in lenght. It was in quite bad condition but still nice... Nice enough to give it some...

I have a Vauen Quixx and a Peterson belgique for very short smokes.
but usually I fill a smaller Pete (312, 12.5 s) halfway or I just smoke a bigger bowl in several sittings (DGT is your friend)

Kaywoodie Campus. This pipe was made to be smoked between classes.
What do people consider approximate inner bowl dimensions for tiny (30min smoke) vs small(hour long ) vs medium bowl(1.5hour)?
I’m thinking something like 0.75inch width to 1inch height is small, anything smaller than that is tiny, and medium is like 0.75/1.25?
Thoughts ?

I have a Kaywoodie Campus and a similar sized basket pipe. I like em for work. I like a smaller clay pipe best though. I miss mine bad lol.
A note on police attention, since starting smoking pipes I've been pulled over twice after for "random safety checks". I have only been smoking for a couple months and I've gone a decade without being pulled over until now lol. Both were shortly after lighting at intersections with police there. I'm assuming they thought I was lighting something else but when they get to the window and smell the tobacco they just check my insurance and license and let me go.

Nice pipes. The Ser Jacopo is especially nice. Beautiful blast on that pipe. You might like Musico pipes as they are on the smaller side and are very well made.
What is the body of the pipe made of? Do you use the filter stones with this?
EDIT: Wow, this is an ingenious design, like a mini Calabash with a huge filter. I bet you could use plain rice in the spiral. Gonna have to try one of these!

I’ve got a Big Ben Ranger and like it, but apart from the short length, I wouldn’t call it a small pipe. The chamber is almost exactly the same size as my Peterson 80s bulldog and my Savinelli 313 Prince. It’s good for a decently long smoke if I keep my foot out of it.the smallests I have are 2 Big Bens, Ranger (10,5 cm) and Pipo (9,8 cm)
quick smokes for a cold winter walk

The stummel is some form of injection molded plastic, heat resistant.
Manduela is known for her tiny pipes, often faceted bulldogs, though not the only thing she makes. Often .63-.68 diameter and 1.30 or shorter height. I’m working on getting a couple. She makes some nice, tiny chamber, long shank bulldogs as well, I just can’t find any available.
Beautiful pipes. Hadn’t heard of her until now.
There are some on The Danish Pipe Shop.
My favorite minis are the small Castellos. I had more. I sold the others for a pipe I probably didn't keep around.
Here's the ultimate "10 minute tiny pipe". Castello Searock from 1948 and unsmoked.! Take a close look and if you would like to own it let me know how much....
