Never
. In this case, Molto Dulce. This is the real McCoy. Handcrafted by true Hillbillies from way back when. This pipe will never be for sale - a real museum piece.
I’ve owned two and currently occasionally smoke my Sav 921 brown rusticated, I like the 601 too…. For 100 bucks it delivers, can’t ask for any more. 10 inch too great size if you take it apart it’s portable, I find 9-11 inches the perfect size, but 8 is ok too.
I bought an HCA just out of curiosity and because it came with two stems just in case. I really don't care for the church warden stem it smokes just fine with that stem and looks cool; it's just not for me with the shorter stem it goes from a nice pipe to a really good pipe.
This just looked suspicious. Or something.Never

Some time ago, I made this rack to hold 9 of my churchwardens in a small area. Most of the larger ones were bought used, (or "estate") and I put longer stems on them.
Just today I got a used oom paul that's now in the basement full of kosher salt and 90% Everclear waiting for it's new long stem. Maybe I'll post a pick of that tomorrow...

This is a hate free thread….. don’t you bring that hatred in here!
Churchwardens are for campfires...best pipe to smoke sitting around a fire outdoors
Never owned one, but I have been eying the Vauen Auenlands for some time. Maybe it’s the season to finally pull the trigger on one.
It was awhile before one got posted with a shape/blast that was good enough for me to pull the trigger on.
I really enjoy churchwardens and semi churchwardens. I also only smoke outside, and almost always sitting down and reading. I also rarely clench. So it's all upsides and no downsides, most of the time.
My wife, who smokes with me every now and then, has her own designated churchwarden from my collection.

I love mine. All 5. I am a LotR scholar and don't mind admitting that. I smoke mine during DnD sessions or sitting on the stoop of my shop. I don't walk and smoke much, because I would fall over or blow on the pipe as my coordination timing rhythm was destroyed. I stopped driving with pipes because it were stinkin up my truck. When I did smoke in there, then longer standard pipes were the ticket. Briarworks Princes are almost a demi-churchwarden.
Here's the Oom Paul I mentioned in post #48... I hardly needed another pipe, but my favorite pipes are bent, and I'd long wanted to try an Oom Paul.
This thing arrived last Saturday. After thinning out the cake, a blast of kosher salt & Everclear. I couldn't find a long stem to fit the tenon & outside of the stummel, so I cobbled the new stem into the stub of the old one. A little sawing, sanding, polishing, and drilling, and a touch of Locktite, and my new pipe awaits some Autumn Evening. Hopefully, it'll get warm enough to make an outside smoke feasible...

For Savinelli fans a line was once made called Partner Deluxe. They came with a stem extension and can often be found on ebay.
