Churchwarden is a pipe of many virtues. Thanks to the long section to go through, the smoke has all the necessary time to burn off the heat giving a very fresh smoke which no other standard pipe can offer. It is also very easy to smoke while busy in activities like reading or watching Tv. That's why it is sometime referred to as "reading pipe" or "armchair pipe". Thanks to the long acrylic tapered stem it is not necessary to raise your hand to take the pipe to your mouth. This feature makes the smoke particularly relaxing and comforting.
