Beautiful pipe! I have yet to own a freehand pipe. I am thinking about getting one now after seeing all of them here.

Thank You

It is a good pipe but a touch heavy to hold in your teeth, but it can be done without a lot of effort. It smokes very cool.

That's how my Straight Ser Jacopo pipe is. It is large and not the most comfortable to clench but it is a great pipe. I smoke it when I have a solid hour and I am not doing anything else where I would need my hands.

For me a pipe is just that, an hour to sit on the porch and watch the world go by. Tonight the Gaudy Bacchus with some Oriental from the Cabbie Mixture tin.....

If I am busy the pipe stays put away.

That's a great way of doing it and I commend you but alas not me. I smoke in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Busy or not. If it's not a pipe then it's a cigar. I gave up way too many bad habits I will be keeping this one along with caffeine.

A nice bowl of Old Joe Krantz in a Castello Natural Vergin. It's sitting on a Wilson AR9 pistol that got it's maiden range trip yesterday.

I can't smoke in the house so my puffing is done in the garage. So I work on a razor and enjoy a bowl.

I use straight bits when sanding but use bents when honing. I do this so the pipe is not in the way when I use the scope.

I can smoke in my house. Its my house!

But generally don't. I have found it interesting that a pipe is not addicting to myself. I can enjoy it but then put it down for a long time.

I wish I could say that about other things in my life...........

Just looking at this and random thoughts. What are the advantages of not having either a pistol or a rifle. I have found in my life that a compromise gets more of the lesser of both worlds not the advantages.

When I was growing up everyone smoked everywhere. So I smoked in the house from jump street and still do. I wish I didn't. Everything I have smells like pipe tobacco. Of course I can't smell it, but it complicates my ebay sales of non shaving related things sometimes.

Why don't I stop smoking in the house ? Because if I'm not sleeping I'm smoking. Simple as that.
