Which poker am I looking for?

[joecobb]

I´m looking for a poker shaped briar pipe for travel, and preferably not with the worlds widest bowl, optimally about 18-20mm diameter.
I really like the shape and size of the MM Poker, but would like this pipe to be briar, and the probably best looking poker I´ve seen so far is the SederCraft Chewing Gum Lake rusticated, but he doesn´t seem to be active anymore.
Any suggestions?

Lots of great pokers out there. For what you are seeking, the first pipe that came to (my) mind is the Sailor Pipe. Call smokingpipes to see if they have any yet. This style of pipe is great for travel. https://www.danishpipeshop.com/d/Sailor-Dark-Rusticated-w-stem-i368.html
SederCraft makes great stuff and I agree that pipe you mention is awesome. The problem is, he does his work on the side and supply is always a problem.

Well on my wish list is the Stanwell Royal Guard, model 207 poker, looks a good un.

The Royal Guard 207 is a good smoker. I have a 207 and a 182 and they both smoke very well.

The Eltang Basic would be somewhat similar to npod's excellent suggestion.

I would personally recommend Jim Brown of Heisenberg Pipes. Tell him crash sent you and you might get a deal. Lol. Seriously, he makes a nice poker.

Okiepiper - I recently purchased the 186 shape Royal Guard, biggish bowl and a great smoker ( 6 1/2 bowls up to now, breaking it in).
My first big bowl pipe and thick walls, I'm converted.

I love my Savinelli 311 poker. It was very affordable and is a fantastic smoker.
The pipe locator at smokingpipes.com is a great tool when searching for a particular shapes and dimensions.

Thanks for all suggestions!
Well, this didn´t get any easier, I ordered a MM Dagner Poker, so I have something to use while I read up on which briar poker to get...

I have one of those Dagner pokers and have found it excellent. I enjoy and respect cobs, and this one is an absolute keeper. My two briar pokers are a Parker and a LaRocca, and I happened on both of them and deliberated for a long time on each, and find the Parker good and the LaRocca excellent.

Very nice, MSO, I like bowl and the price, only thing I "need" on my poker is a straight bit.
