Pipe Smokers?

[oxter]

Wow, this thread just keeps on going....Great!

I'm now looking for a chruchwarden pipe. I've heard that they are much cooler smoking than a standard pipe due to the length of the stem. Not as common as a standard pipe or as convenient, but worth a shot.


Happy smoking!

Peterson makes a few different Churchwarden pipes, all fairly economically priced.
Nick's suggestion of the Stanwell sounds interesting as well; might have to check it out myself.

I'm currently smoking out of a Peterson Barrel. I'm working through a few different tobaks right now. I bought a few new ones over the recent break which I haven't tried yet, but one of my favorites thus far is Dunhill's "early morning."
Most tobacconists I've visited show a rather uninspiring selection comprised mostly of aromatics. As nice as they smell and all, they're generally much too sweet for my taste.

Somehow I'm not terribly surprised to find such a large number of pipe smokers amongst kilties....

I dreamed I was trying to smoke a churchwarden pipe last night - that is the name for the ones with a long stem, I think.

The tobacco was like chopped straw and it would not light, which was quite annoying as nothing else was happening at the time.

Not only does X marks fill my waking moments but now it infiltrates my sleep!!

It was a really pretty pipe though - with the colours and lines of a chestnut just out of the spikey cover on the bowl and an elegantly curved stem about 10 inches long with an ivory mouthpiece. I was quite looking forward to smoking it except I could not dream up any flamable tobacco.
