Esserman was one guy who got me interested after reading some of his writings about large pipes. They're just so darn expensive!

I doubt briar like that comes along everyday, that blast is pretty magnificent. Having said all of that, I really don’t touch my large bowled pipes that much. I imagine that Esserman’s 7 day bag for travelling is as big as my carry on luggage. |

I don't remember who the maker was, but they started at $400+ 7 years ago. That should make them over a thousand now. |

Could never understand the appeal of having a monstrous pipe (There's just no polite way of phrasing that, is there?) I like to be able to read or work while I'm smoking, and can't imagine doing that while dangling a football between my teeth. To say nothing of their capacity; Sherlock Holmes could handle a three-pipe problem with one bowl.

I have a few pipes that deliver a hour and a half smoke and I find that they actually are more pleasurable to smoke than most small pipes. I don't think I've ever found a small pipe that smoked well. I've got an LHS that almost hits the mark, but the walls of the bowl are so thin that I'm afraid it'll burn up if I smoke it at a comfortable pace. I tend to smoke what I'd call a standard-size pipe (I think a Dunhill Group 4 is the measure here, though I've never owned one), since I found them the perfect balance of smoking time and convenience. And if I load one up with cube cut, or coins/flake (typical for me lately), I can easily get an hour out of it. |

I like big pipes too. But when they approach the size of my head ...

Here's the largest one in my collection.  Haven't found the time to load it up yet. Something tells me it'd be a 3 hour smoke. ;-) |

This Ardor Urano large bent billiard bowl is just around 3 inches in height and a tad bit over 2.5 inch chamber depth. This thing is a real honker in the hand but is surprisingly still clenchable. Rich Esserman basically considers big pipes to be those of 3 inch + chamber depth, I find I like between about 2-3 inch and to still be manageable.
My latest Ardor Urano Fantasy saxophone is exactly a 2 inch chamber depth and exactly 2 ounces in weight, much more manageable. A perfect reading pipe.
