I love Dan's Blue Note, but I've found that around half-way through the bowl it loses something. I figure if I smoke it in a small bowl it will be done by the time it starts losing it's flavour. I'm just not sure what's out there for small bowls. Any recommendations?

Cheers,

I have not smoked his pipes yet, but soon will and have been thinking about the same thing (having one small good pipe). If I were you I believe I would ask Sas to make one just like I wanted. I have spoke with him about this and he's plenty open to do that.

How could you beat that? I great small bowl pipe that is just the look you want and bowl size what you want? I know I have not finished with Sas and his pipe making.

Here is the Sas pipe I am waiting on now and I have been thinking of getting him to make the same exact pipe, but with a smaller bowl just for things like your talking about.

i love the stanwell featherweight acorns.

Paolo Becker kind of specializes in smaller pipes, sort of expensive though...

Ditto Stanwell Featherweights, and some of the HCA's are small too and are fantastic smokers.

Peterson 303. Very good all-round smaller pipe.

+1 on the Stanwell Featherweights (I have shape 243) and the Peterson 303 (I have 3 of them.) They are great for 45 min. to an hour smokes. Peterson's 80s shape is also a smaller bowl and smokes about the same length.

So true Piet!!!

Thanks for the feedback, all. I checked out the Stanwell featherweights and like the look of them. I'm also impressed with the quality of my Stanwell. I'll see about adding one to my next order.

Another shout out for a Peterson 303. Some time ago I built up a group of old GBD's with small bowls - they work perfectly. Got them all off Ebay for a song.

My Pete 87 has a nice shaped, small bowl. Nice and round
