Two New Pipes

[philip]

First a Vauen churchwarden. I like the thickness of the wood on the bowl; thicker than most churchwardens I have seen. It came with two stems, but only has one shank, so it's not like having two straws at the soda fountain. :lol:

Second a Stanwell Golden Danish 63. This is my first pipe with a rusticated finish. I think it suits the style. It looks to me like a branch coming off a tree trunk.

My goal is to have a dozen briars. I am now officially more than half way there. Now I need to get busy building a pipe rack for the boat.

Very nice, that warden is gorgeous!

Good lookin' pipes Phillip.

So, do ALL (or most) CW's have relatively thin bowls/walls and, if so, why please?

Di, for the most part I would say that-that is true.

It's probably just a weight thing.

I know I wouldn't want some of my free-hands to have a CW stem.

I might dislocate a my jaw.

See why I qualify most of what I post... :D

Somebody's always going to make a liar out of you.... :D

This one is definitely for holding in my hand. It's a little heavy for my teeth.

OohWaaah that CW is as prerty as prerty can be! It'll suit you Philip, you'll look so terribly, terribly distinguished
LOL at Lawrence's comment too. Can't wait for my eleventy seven CW's to arrive now to see what sort of thin or thick'ish' bowls they have.

Nice pipes Philip. I really like the Vauen churchwarden.

Congrats on your new briars, Stanwells are great pipes for the money and will provide a lifetime of enjoyment.

Cheers

Hey now!!
Nice pipes. I've never smoked a Vauen, but I love my Stanwells! They make a great pipe.
