Hi, I was wondering if anybody knows if the Wellingtons that look like the Omegas are the same as/similar to the Omega Question

Not the same, but similar.

In what ways? Not as good as the Omega? Better? Filtered or not? Does it have the "well" construction? Questions, questions ... Smile

Rev. Best I know Wellington (any maker) has no filter....just the trap. Omega has the trap and the filter....How's that?.....

Makes Omega about twice as good....ted

I got a Baby Wellington in the mail today. I am amazed at how small this thing is. Shown here with an Omega.

BW did you get that on eBay? I saw one on eBay and almost went for it. I wish now I did Very Happy

I'm glad you got it. Let us know how it smokes.

My son has a mini and likes it too. He doesn't smoke it much because of the small amount it holds. But, he likes it for a short smoke.

Glad it's a good smoker. Smile

BW, I've smoked my Omega the last couple of times without the filter and think it might smoke a little "better" without the filter?? What do you think?

Also, compared to the Omega how would you rate the Wellingtons? If I remember correctly, Wellingtons are non-filtered pipes. I'm thinking of getting a Wellington, but if I'm not getting a "better" or at least equal in quality pipe as the Omega I might forgo getting one??
