  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Looking for a unique churchwarden...help!

So I'm heading into surgery tomorrow morning and will be offline for a few days. My wife asks me if there's anything I want after I'm back home. I told here I wanted to buy a nice churchwarden with our tax return money. BUT...I don't want the basic style and I'm not looking to spend a fortune either. Something unique and well made of wood not meerschaum. Anybody know where to buy cool looking church's. About a 7"-8" stem is plenty.

MacQueen pipes have some that look like they "borrowed" the designs from the Lord of the Rings movies. They look neat, I've been on the fence about picking up the ranger pipe for a while now. But I don't know what kind of quality they are. Talking about it may have just pushed me over the edge to pick one up and find out :)

Cheers :ccool:

smokingpipes.com and cupojoes.com both sell good quality BRIAR churchwardens. When getting a church make sure its either a well known company or it specifies its briar. there are alot of reproductions or replicas and flat out fakes that are made from pear wood and cheap hard wood. I guarantee that if Emerson sells it it is briar.

Sorry i missed this thread. My suggestion would be a Nording. You can buy a churchwarden stem for them and have the best of both worlds.
