Pipes for Women

[Ridge Runner]

I have been reading here and there about women who smoke pipes. My wife seems somewhat intrigued about my pipe smoking, says she likes how it smells and might ought to give it a try sometime. I wouldn't mind buying her a pipe to encourage this, but does anyone make a pipe designed just for women? I think she would receive it better if it were a "ladies pipe."

One that comes with a matching rag to dry dishes with?

JUST KIDDING!! Jeez, no humor around here!

Seriously, there may be some better choices with a meerschaum. Some of those are on the "elegant looking" side. Just a thought. Here's a link for meerschaumstore.com that has pipes for women:

or try meerschaum.com and their artwork or even standard pipes. or take some model paint, a corncob pipe and do your best and if she likes it go meerschaum, if not any gift that has some handmade quality will get you good things

RR, I'm in the same boat as you. I recently bought my wife a Butz Choquin 'Paris' pipe...she's very pleased with her little pipe.

I'd been looking sometime for a 'perfect' pipe for her. The main problem I encountered was most 'ladies' pipes are small, long and with a thin shank. This means most do not take a filter. My wife much prefers my filter pipes, mainly 9mm. It softens the smoke and bite and is generally 'healthier'.

So my advise would be make sure it is small, elegant and takes a 9mm filter. Butz Choquin and Chacom, both are french and many take filters.

I'd also say you really need to buy in a B&M so you can see the size and shape is suitably elegant and 'petit'.

Thank's Dub. I appreciate you sharing your findings. I was pretty excited with the details until I learned about the French part of the deal. I probably let politics dictate too much of my life, but I would quit smoking a pipe before I support the French (or the Russians or any other ungrateful country that we have saved in years past). Maybe I better stick to buying her lingerie

"Lingerie" is a french word

Ha! That is a hoot! Thanks for the laugh (and lesson). Now I am torn... Have the wife go without lingerie or cave in on my politcal stance. This is a very difficult choice

lingerie is french for underwear though, so my boxers are the french lingerie. the american british use of the word id different enough i think its ok.

To be fair, they did help us with our independence. There has got to be something to get us back on good terms.

You gentleman have given me a great education tonight, and I think much ground can be made now. To Irishcamel.. Thank you and yes it does count for something. Not everything, but enough to let me consider a French made pipe. And to Letsgomountaineers, you have made me a happy man. The lingerie dilemma is over, and in honor of the French, the wife will need to wear her French Maid outfit Now, lets see if we can combine the two!
