Hey all, I am a beginner in the pipe smoking world, I am very quickly becoming obsessed with buying new pipes/tobacco! I have just bought a Peterson Irish Harp in the 03 shape, that I am excited to receive and try to break in...I want to ask you all your opinions on the best church warden for a decent price? I don't want the cheapest budget buy, but I also can't afford the most expensive as I am planning on buying a few pipes to get me to the point of rotating pipes (i'd also appreciate any thoughts on the types of shapes you guys think would suit a beginner)...so far I have liked the:
- Peterson D15: http://www.mysmokingshop.co.uk/index2.php?mod=catviewind&idPrd=17735
- Savinelli Tandem pipe (I like these as it's similar to the Hans Christian Anderson in that it comes with short and long stems): http://www.mysmokingshop.co.uk/index2.php?mod=catviewind&idPrd=17874
- Molina Apple shape: http://www.mysmokingshop.co.uk/index2.php?mod=catviewind&idPrd=10853
Any opinions on these pipes or a better option would be much appreciated! I am currently out of country and can't get to a shop to try them in person...
thanks so much in advance, I love the info and experience I read in these forums, and the camaraderie between pipe smokers isn't found in many other forums...
