*If you definition of "churchwarden" pipes requires it to be about a feet, the the '''wizard''' is the only "true churchwarden" among the series, with a total length of 11 inches. The Vulcanite stem is at 8 inches, the same length as the Churchwarden Forever Stems. Its bowl is also significantly bigger and heavier than the others -- the chamber even managed to be deeper and wider than those of the General! Naturally, this make clenching completely impossible, and lighting the pipe require certain finesse. My solution is to pull the stem out and fit it onto other smaller filtered pipes that I have; the maple diplomat is a good fit.

Some people consider the vulcanite stem as merely "acceptable". Thus, if one decided to go with a Forever Stems Chruchwarden stem, this series may not entice you that much. However, Forever stem is also more expensive than the pipe, and it is smokeable for me; the Wizard's stem manage to give me the coolest smoke I ever have.

==Dagner Sitting Poker==
The "Dagner Sitting Poker" is a pipe which was designed by pipe designer Jason Dagner of Dagner Pipe Designs and which was put into production by Missouri Meerschaum in April 2016. It is a small, non-filtered pipe with a 4 1/2" length and a surprisingly tall 2" bowl with a 3/4" chamber and 1 3/8" depth and a hardwood birch plug. What sets the Dagner cob apart from the standard line is that it features an Italian-made black acrylic stem and a nickel plated band.
