我现在只是一个新手,刚开始2个月,有不少问题。
1: 陶土斗 容易损坏到什么地步?
2:国产的陶土斗怎么样?淘宝上那些不过200元的斗怎么样,那个比较好?在不考虑美观,只考虑实用的基础上。
希望赐教。。 好文章,就是关于价格,我看到几篇文章说法不大一样,我也做了一个小考证
十七世纪的价格:"Pipemaking was almost always a low-class trade carried out in the poorer suburbs of towns and, during the 17th century, pipes could be bought for as little as one to two shillings per gross."1 这里说17世纪要价只有每gross,144支 1-2 先令。
十九世纪初殖民地(澳大利亚)的零售价格:D.D.Mann noted in 1811 that "tobacco-pipes, which, some years ago, at the cheapest periods cost sixpence each, are now manufactured in the settlement, of a very good quality, and are retailed for one penny each." 2这里指出之前澳大利亚(从大不列颠)进口烟斗的时候在市场上最便宜也卖6便士(0.5先令)一个,现在(1881年)本土化生产以后质量很好的烟斗也只要一便士一个。
十九世纪30年代的批发价格(澳大利亚):In December 1831 Joseph Elliott advertised that he was reducing his wholesale price of pipes from 5 shillings to 4 shillings per gross. Aweek later the orice was reduced further to 2 shillings per gross. Aweek later the price was reduced further to 2 shillings 6 pence.3三周内从6先令per gross 降价到2先令6便士per gross。
所以我的理解为陶土烟斗价格在十七世纪为1-2先令每gross,十八世纪末到十九世纪初陶土烟斗的批发价格应该是每114支2到5先令。零售1,2便士一个,最高不超过六便士一个。去除轻微通胀因素,可以理解为基本维持不变。
由此引出的结论是即使是下层低收入吸烟群体,也能负担得起陶土烟斗的频繁更替。平均为一到两周坏一个。

受教了,多谢多谢!fan_23gif 请问淘宝上卖的陶土斗是不是也可以用起来很好 其实陶土斗还有斗钵是陶土,斗杆加咬嘴是骑士斗的形制的产品。德国LAMA品牌上世纪七十年代有生产。相当有中世纪风格。小的有收藏一套,抽烟利器。算是churchwarden形制不存在斗嘴口感不好和填装量少的问题。算是补充一点:loveliness: 请教一下各位陶斗前辈,近日我买了二只进口的古法烧制的陶斗。感觉抽烟很干爽,一很容易一钵到底,最后倒烟灰很干净,那些特别湿的的草,也抽的很舒服,没有水汩汩的现场,而且可以连续作战。但抽的时候,实在太烫手,我尽量慢抽,很轻柔的了,还是烫手。不知各位前辈有何妙法有何抽吸技巧,可以适当改善这个烫手问题? 最近准备入陶土斗,LZ的资料太及时了!!!谢谢! 我个人感觉陶土斗最大的优点就是不积水,吸水性特别强。买来草不用醒,直接开抽,味道干爽,自己在用一把、轻松一斗到底尽是白灰。当烟草稍微干些的时候抽的味道就不如石楠斗了。目前没有接触海泡石,有机会试试吧。 在想用宜兴紫砂是否可以做烟斗,和壶一样讲究泥、型、功、款。:lol
