[Tate]

Yep. Today Winter arrived here in WV in force.

No doubt buddy! Been using the clay to keep it quicker.

I love small pipes with short chambers, it's great for a little pause. I have this Talbert morta. Great smoker. An eskimo from Eclesias, a dunhill opera from 1976, great fondation by musico, a volcano by Dädä and a Liverpool by Dirk Claessen.

AND meers? I love my smooth mini like that, but it’s 3/4” bowl, so not really a “ten minute” pipe (unless is a dry shag).

The weed pipe gang would be all over these

That's what the gnomes were angry about the other day! Someone purloined thier pipe supply.

Anyone else have a tiny set of pipes they use for a quick 10 minute smoke? Really, they are vest pocket pipes.


Here are five I rely on. In the foreground is a 7-inch Mastro Geppetto billiard for perspective.

(L-R) A green Paronelli; a Molino; a Ser Jacopo Ad Astra; an oval bowl Volkan; and a tiny Amorelli. Yep, all Italians since the small cocktail pipes seem be favored by the Europeans.

What's that little green one!? Excellent.

Is it fair to say that for tasting purposes, a small pipe works fine?

The green one is a Paronelli. They make some nice colorful pipes. Below are a few more.

As far as tasting, I think the middle part of the bowl gives you the best idea of a blend, so I’m not too sure that a small pipe is good for that purpose.

On honor of this thread it tried it out. I have a handful of mini clay pipes from Penn Valley. I wanted to try this Virginia flake from sir John broken flake that I've been hoarding.

With three years it's not bad. this tiny pipe mount not be doing it justice though.

I have a 15" one - but that one but similar. It's kind of hard to smoke except for the rare occasions when I need to search the libraries below Gondor.
