Lunchbreak Walking Pipe

[DanWil84]

EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9)

As spring is coming (no, not winter...), also the walks during my lunchbreak are on the horizon again.

As a noob (I get 2 cobs in the mail, 5th avenue bends) i'm also looking for a smaller pipe I can smoke on my 30 minute lunchbreak walk. I do get that I could also smoke the cobs during those walks, but if I can find a reason to burn money on new stuff just because I can, I will do it!

A smaller bent billiard like the Savinelli 614 attracts me, especially as it looks like a great clencher for walking, but I also understand that a full bend pipe is a little tricky to smoke due to moisture collection in the bottom of the pipe.

So any advise on a small clenching pipe for walking is appreciated!

Don't let photos fool you, those are larger than a fifth avenue.

I was put off by the specs on the smoking pipes website which are not matching the Savinelli site.

Your cobs are good for a break. I smoke mine at work, and i can't finish a bowl on my thirty minute lunch.

I use my Tsuge Metal Blowfish for that. Though it takes a flake to get thirty minutes. Make sure to read and understand the specs first. Otherwise you'll have to buy a second pipe.

Might i recommend a Nording Compass pipe?

Your best bet would be to use the pipe locator tool on smokingpipes and punch in the specs you think would be the best pipe to suit your lunch break walks.
In the end, if it isn't a pipe you really love, it won't be going to lunch with you anyway. I'd shoot for a pipe you could envision smoking all the time. At home, on a walk, out and about. That way you have a pipe you're happy to have on lunch break, rather than having to get by with a lunch break pipe until you can smoke a better one. Especially if you're just starting out.

A Peterson system 317 might be a good fit. Minimum moisture issues because of the system. Army mount so it can be taken apart hot. Bent billiard with a small chamber and short overall length. Very pocketable, but also a good sit in the chair and smoke pipe.

I’ve always liked the look of these. Do they smoke well?

Falcon’s are worth considering ? You can tailor the size of the bowl and they are very light.
Happy smokes.

I just got one. Seems to smoke well to me. I've only smoked mine once, though i think it performed well

I think for the money you can't go wrong. A good pipe for every day use, one you don't have to worry about anything happening to it.

Nice. Worth a go then. When i go out walking or just for general abuse it would be nice to have something i don't mind dropping too much! Been using the cheap Dr Plumb i got when i first started on the pipe but having another option would be handy.

 

[DanWil84]

Thank you all for your recommendations gentleman, much appreciated. The recommendations on the Falcon and Nording pipe and they might be very good, but they are not my thing. The Tsuge is very different pipe, but out of my price range. I like the Peterson suggestion, think the system pipe can be a good thing to mitigate the moisture issue I have read about.

 

[coming to_falling too]

I never thought a pipe with metal parts would be my thing either and now i have two. Don't knock it before you try it.

Just wanted to note that many Dr Grabow pipes have small bowls. I don't think that they have any new production that are as bent as a Savinelli 614, but a savoy or an omega might do the trick for you.

 

[OzPiper]

If you are considering a Peterson, may I suggest looking at the Short series.
I have a Short 80s and a Short 03 and both should suit your purpose admirably.

 

[OzPiper]

Peterson also has an Outdoors series - regular sized bowls with shortened stems.
I don't think they are available from SmokingPipes USA, but I've seen them from retailers in the UK eg Harrison and Simmonds

 

[ray47]

I also concur with others concerning a Falcon. I used a Falcon at work for many years. No moisture issues, small bowls and just put 2 bowls and a slight bent stem in your pocket and your good to go. Falcon makes a Bantam bowl for quick lunchtime smokes.
