Wessex British Made Reading Pipes: British made! .........Yes .......... you did read that right these Briars are actually made in Britain. British made pipes are very rare nowadays as suppliers look across the water for more competitive pipe manufacturers so if these pipe didn't appeal just by the looks and unique size they should be in your basket by now!

It is well documented that Churchwarden pipes smoke cooler than standard pipes, which is due to the extra distance the smoke has to travel. This gives the smoke more time to cool. Churchwardens are also known as Reading pipes as the bowl is kept away from the face allowing the smoker to read a book at the same time. The wessex pipes fill a nice gap in the pipe market as there aren't many small bowled reading pipes as there once was. They aren't as long as the traditional churchwarden and the bowls are smaller for those who want a more discreet and lightweight pipe for shorter smokes.

Wessex Deluxe Churchwarden The Wessex Deluxe churchwardens are made from a higher quality of briar than the budget range but still with the same great quality craftsmanship. Available in numerous different shapes and sizes which means you'll be sure to find one that suits.
