I'd like some nice heavy tumblers (I have a Glencairn already but prefer a heavy tumbler).

These are nice ([url= http://www.tableartonline.com/home.php?cat=377 ]the double old fashioned[/url]) but are a touch pricey, anyone got any other recommendations?

Well, I'm pretty traditional and like Edinburgh Crystal.

Ideal for single malts.

TK Maxx often have nice cut-crystal heavy-duty tumblers. I use a nice set of six vintage 'spirograph' decorated glasses which I found on ebay.

I've got a straight sided one similar to the top one Spey posted, which I [i]think[/i] I got from Habitat, but it was many years ago. Really nice and heavy, though.

Is one not supposed to use a narrow rimmed glass to aid the intake of the bouquet?

The pro's use glasses similar to these. I quite like drinking out them or a glencairn, but many prefer a tumbler and there ar some really nice ones out there. Oddly, I prefer congnac in a tumbler to a brandy type glass.
