I have a Ben Wade danish hand golden walnut (pictured), and a couple of smallish meerschaums that I swap around. Had an old Dr Grabow but it got crusty and I tossed it, those are the cheapies.. they don't smoke very well, but they'll do for swaps. Spend a hundred on a hand model though, it's worth it. They take a bit of breaking in, and good care, but you'll have it forever. Also, try different tobaccos in the cheapy, when you settle on a flaver, use it exclusively in your hand model. For a small pipe, I do suggest a meerschaum. They get kinda hot, like all small pipes, but they aren't very expensive and if you get a good carve, they're classy looking, especially after they start to turn color.
..and yeah, I'm Moby, don't tell nobody though, I hate adulation.
