EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9)

As a new piper, I’ve quickly come to realize why many pipers haVe a large collection of pipes. In my novice and humble opinion.... It’s the search.... the search for the pipe that feels so right in your hand and between you teeth Or... perhaps it’s the search to find a smoker that delivers a cool, dry smoke from start to finish and is a pure joy in delivering as a tool to produce the smoking pleasure.

Is perfection attainable? It’s in the eye of the beholder of course and I’m up for the challenge.

i find myself frequently scanning online pipe stores and eBay.... searching for a pipe to sing to me.

is it possible to find that grail? To find that 1 pipe that satisfies beyond all others?

While I wonder aloud, I’m thinking no... and I think that fine. It’s the journey that’s often the most fun...

Have you found your holy grail pipe that brings you comfort and satisfaction above all others?

if yes, I’d be so curious to know what ‘s the reason this pipe sits above all
Others?

Would love to see a picture too. I haven’t found mine yet, but will share her when.... errr, if i do.

For me, ideally, the perfect pipe is the simplest and most functional one possible. I prefer straight, in medium size, classic shape. Not too heavy or too bulky, which is fine in all situations and with any type of tobacco you want to smoke at that time.
For these reasons as an example of balance in the proportions of a classic shape I say the Dunhill 3103, however any similar model of any brand is fine for me, I used Dunhill because it is a classic and well-known brand and its models and sizes are easily cataloged.

I'm sure everyone has their favorite specs, based on their personal tastes and experiences. For me often the rule applies that the more simple and balanced the more I can focus on everything else and not only on the object, the greater the satisfaction. But for others it could be completely different ...

The perfect pipe hasn't been made yet.

The perfect pipe hasn't been made yet.

Actually most are. It's the perfect smoker that doesn't exist.

Really? Wasn't that smoker you? ?

Any well drilled pipe is the perfect pipe. It's the smoker that has the greatest affect on the experience.

The next one I’m going to smoke.

The perfect pipe changes from time to time for me. Sometimes I smoke nothing but a cobb, next week it may be falcons all week or Dunhills the next. For what ever reason, for me, it varies according to my mood, the weather, the tabacco, what I'm watching on Netflix, what hat I'm wearing....you get the idea.

Right now it's my Altinok LVC pipe which I received yesterday. I'm having fun determining which blend/gender smokes best in it.

Normally it's my 2016 Savinelli St. Nick 606 which smokes any blend like a charm and has the best mechanics of any pipe I own.

Medium size long stem classic billiard and medium canadians are very favorite of mine

 

[coming to_falling too]

I'm still very much green to the hobby, but at this point I tend to prefer billiards, lovats, and Canadians.

The perfect pipe has been every pipe i bought until i bought the next one. Now its the one i have packed and ready to relax with. A pipe in the hand is worth 2 "perfect" 1's on a website lol. Enjoy and buy the pipes that haunt your dreams and it will all work out.

 

[stokesdale]

Mine is a Savinelli Spring 141 KS, that or a Dr. Grabow Grand Duke (yes, I'm old-fashioned)

 

[augiebd]

Haven’t settled down yet, still playing the field though trying to exercise restraint. I am starting to ask, why am I still playing the field? Then I see a pipe or lot of pipes that seems like such a deal, and I wonder why restraint is necessary?

 

[Chasing Embers]

Really? Wasn't that smoker you? ?

Nope, once in a blue moon I have to relight.

 

[didimauw]

Mine is a straight apple. I have a Rossi in the shape and it smokes great. Not too big, not too small.

 

[hauntedmyst]

They don't make it. Dunhill straight grained 6103 Bruyere billiard in the vibrant burgundy they used to make it in, not the dried blood color they use now, with a hold machine turned band.
