[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 304729, member: 3"] The short small pipe idea is one that I like, I have a couple, though mine are small all over (Stanwell Featherweight). The current trend is for chubby, fat short pipes which (I believe) is spawned from the almost cult-like following of the highly sought after Castello shape 10. The thick bit-end of the stem is what seems to be in question here, not so much the idea of a short pipe. While I personally don't really enjoy thick bits, I'd love to have a Castello 10, I think they're very stylish and appealing, as are some of the other chubbies, like the Pease/Radice June Bug. As Dutch pointed out, the saddle bit offers the cure for the dislike of thick bits on short pipes. You can still have chunkiness while being able to comfortably clench with a saddle bit. Those fat nosewarmers do look cool, but they look like they'd be uncomfortable to smoke if you had to remove your hands even for a moment. But, who knows, it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.
