Pipe smoking is rapidly regaining popularity all across the country. Whereas pipes used to once be seen as an older man’s pass time, people under 40 are moving towards this method of enjoying tobacco in droves. What drives people toward pipe smoking? Overall the flavor, enjoyment, and experience are unlike any other method of enjoying tobacco. Spring is an excellent time to add to your pipe collection, or even start a new one! Have a look at these 3 pipes that will be sure to evoke spring when you’re puffing away on a nice spring day:
Springtime Pipe #3: The Cadry by Lorenzo in Red Polish
A very unique pipe for a very unique pipe smoker! Because the shape and size of each individual pipe will very, you can expect a pipe that is sure to draw the attention of both smokers and non-smokers alike. Closely resembling a red flower in the process of blooming, you are sure to think that spring has sprung while smoking your favorite blend in this masterfully crafted piece. If you’re not feeling the reddish finish, it does come in three others: Walnut, “Stromboli,” and Brown Rustic K2. All of which are excellent pipes, but may not yell “spring smoker.”
Springtime Pipe #2: Ruf-Tone with bent stem by Kaywoodie
With a very nicely designed stem and alternating light and dark highlights on the bowl, this pipe seems to be emerging from the long, dark winter months just as we are. Dark toned grooves give way to very beautiful deep reddish colors – a truly stunning pipe visually. The superbly craftsmanship is evident on every inch of this pipe, and your friends are sure to ask you where you got it. Probably best for early spring when the weather still isn’t sure if it has made up its mind yet, this pipe is sure to become a favorite.
Springtime Pipe #1: Medico Bold Rebel Straight Stem
Saving the boldest and best for last comes easy with the Bold Rebel by Medico, and I couldn’t resist putting this one on the list. This pipe just screams Springtime with beautiful painted motifs over the smooth reddish finish from top of bowl to end of shank. Straight as an arrow and with a smaller bowl, this is likely to be a mid to late spring smoker following the axiom that Spring “comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb”. Certainly one that will turn heads, draw attention, and maybe even make it into your Summer collection.
Overall, if you’re looking to have pipes in your collection that yell “Spring” at the top of your lungs, types and styles like these are an excellent choice. Pipes that embody spring should have big and bold shapes and/or bright colors. You’re going to want pipes that smoke well and fit your personal style and preference, as well. You won’t be disappointed with any of these, for sure!
