I am quite fond of the looks of Peterson's. You really have to buy someplace that gives measurements though. Appearances can be deceiving.

Presumably you have access to SmokingPipes.com here in the US? You can always look up a pipe there to get dimensions.

My lovely wife knew I was a big Van Cleef fan, and so she scoured the web and found this for me as the closest match she could find. Awesome...

This Rossi Vittoria 122 was my Not-So-Secret-Santa gift, and I'm lovin' it so far. Great smoker! More of these may be in my pipe rotation in the future.

I almost feel like I should buy myself a new pipe.

I feel the same way . But to stop myself from getting more , one method is to say that each new pipe will leave an older pipe left alone . Lonely old pipes , lol

I am in the mood for a Volcano , though

Got this on the 'bay a couple of months ago, and it just arrived from Germany. A Butz Choquin Vendome Extra 1506. Not a very good pic, I'm afraid.

I don't have many so they'll all get smoked sooner than later...I just haven't seen any recently on the bay worth buying.
