1st picture, Briars 2nd picture, porcilons and clays 3rd picture, Kirstens 4th picture, Meers and cobs Okay I showed you mine, now let me see yours. edm
My falcon Other than that, a few cobs and MM hardwoods. The biggest problem I have shopping for pipes is I have no clue what I’m looking at most of the time.
Now that’s a pipe that’s had some use. Mustangii’s set all look like what you see looking into a shop window.
Rather than post pictures of all my pipes here I’ll just post a link… http://ermtony.pbworks.com/w/page/14871561/My-Pipes
@ermtony I like “chubby”. That’s a pipe with character.
Don’t know if this picture conveys anything of carelessness in treating my baccy things.
There are others including a couple of Savinelli apples and a two burnt down dunhills, but there’s enough here for my purposes.
OOOO I like chubby! I agree, @xapken! I’ve been thinking about smoking a pipe lately…which I’ll have to seriously think about because quitting smoking was a huge deal for me. Yet I’m tempted…
With this site (which I love) I can use chew and snuff and just smoke a couple of times a day, without any need to inhale. I’m liking it all. But I would really recommend that if your’re not smoking at all, don’t start.
@ transitor, I second what petersuki has just said. I smoked cigs, expensive cigars and pipes. I quit the lot on 11th April 1994. I have never looked back. Enjoy the snuff.
Mostly I collect pipes and tobacco, that’s why mine are so clean, they hardly get used. Even less now that I started using snuff and snus. They may get smokes once a month if that. I have some tobaccos that are dated before 2005 so they should be well aged by now. They have never be opened. edm
mustangii noted, I’m out in my garden (yard) right now and just been indoors to find an old friend. A Missouri corn cob I paid about 50p (about $0.82 way back when. See if I can capture it on the built in webcam.
WOW John, that pipe has been SMOKED!!
My pipe collection has been neglected as well, since I started snusing and snuffing. I need to clean and polish the lot, and then perhaps I’ll post a pic. I’ve got a few I’m rather proud of (like a pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock).
I don’t have pictures of all of my pipes, but here’s one of my most recent acquisition: a Peterson Kapp Royal XL12
@SnuffHead - I like how you provided translations of certain bits for our American cousins! 11th April 1994 is a very precise date to remember, as opposed to ‘I quit smoking sometime in 1994’ or something…
Lol, do my best.
@tybalt, that is one super nice pipe!! Congratulations
Thanks for the advice guys I already quit once so why start again… I must have been thinking crazy again…
I don’t have enough pipes to warrant taking a picture. I have a crappy “freehand” briar, a decent bent rhodesian, a MM cob, and a clay.
I say pick up the pipe. For me it’s the least addictive and easiest to put down form of tobacco. It’s nice to have once in a while. Really too it is very relaxing. I smoke once to four times a month. Usaly when hanging out with cigarette smokers.
I second Bob
@bob The part about when hanging out with cigarette smokers is very true. I had stopped cold-turkey and stayed stopped for around three years. Around smokers was a tough time for me. Keep in mind this was also before discovering snuff.
covers up the cig smell too. Much better to smell like a pipe then a cig.
Too may to post but here are three favorites… Kaywoodie “Handmade”. Wanted one of these for ever!
My first Kaywoodie. A 41C and I love the shape of this one.
Ser Jacopo R1 Hawkbill. Nuff said And then there is the other 23. I think I have a (good) problem…
Love the Ser Jacopo hawkbill, NikonNUT. Ser Jacopo has a way of drilling curved shanks. Here’s one of my favorites:
This could take awhile. heck you seen most of them from the mail box thread
