I'm a very amateur pipe smoker myself... though I've been at it for 8 years now despite the "on and off" character of my pipe smoking.
I have 3 pipes at the moment: a bent biliard with no name brand, though it's a briar pipe, and a billiard Chacom that is my pride and joy. I also bought - today, infact - a new pipe: a very small billiard Peterson. I guess this is a clear enough statement in what concerns my tastes...
So I'd like to know - for the sake of conversation - what are your particular tastes. What do you look for in a pipe? What are your favorite models and brands and sizes?...
Thanks!
