Lately I've been reaching for, and buying, pipes in the ca. six-inch length -- overall, I mean. A year or more ago I had a Savinelli mini-churchwarden, but I traded it. Now I find I'm most attracted to pipes that approach or even exceed six inches. It's not the idea of getting a cooler smoke; since I learned (here) about drying my tobacco and smoking more slowly, hot smoke has not been a problem. Apparently I just like the esthetic of a longer pipe such as my Dr. Grabow Commodore Canadian and my Mastercraft and Peterson billiards. The LaCroix bulldog I just ordered is six inches, too.
How about you? Is there a range of lengths you seem to prefer?
