As I'm venturing back into the world of cigars, with so many new brands and lines and all..I'm also tempting fate by dipping back into the pipe side of things.
I enjoyed breaking up the routine previously, especially in the bitterly colder months and rainy days, by sitting with something a little different and taking a little less time with a pipe. Always nice to pick up different flavors than a lot of my preferred cigars, too.
So, mostly I was wondering what a good small pipe would be to start back with. I'd rather get a good briar than just going back with cobb.. I had a couple before, and while I didn't mind them I'd just rather get something I can use more functionally. Also, I'm really looking for a pocket pipe. Nothing big, nothing too long. Short and sturdy, easy to hold and tough enough to take a few lumps when doing things and forgetting it's in the pocket.
I'd really like to keep it in the $50-75 range, or under if possible. Have to save some money for that tobacco. Speaking of, I wouldn't mind hearing some suggestions on what has come out in the last 4-5 years in this regard too. Anything new that's just great, or do standards stay as they were with few differences?
Should have kept my few pipes and tobacco from back then, I know, but moves and life has a way of not making one think straight in the moment. :updown:
