Thread: Pipe smokers?

Just wondering if there's any pipers here. Here's a few from my collection.

Dunhill LB, 1968



Dunhill PO, 1964



Ruthenberg Lovat



Upshall R grade



Ferndown Two Star (**) Bark

I smoke, my collection's not nearly as nice however.

1 Peterson Standard 303
2 Savinelli Reg Grade
2 no names passed down from my father in law's father

Nothing graded for sure, spend too much of my money on razors, golf, and sports memorabilia to have any left over.

I love the Savinelli Autographs and Dunhills tho so maybe one day..

I enjoy a pipe now and then. I've got two Karl Erik #2's, another Karl Erik (no number, I believe it is a common/mass produced one), and a Chacom. There are two others as well that came in a lot; they mostly just sit around.

I'll try to get some pics up if I have a chance.

I was a pipe smoker in the 70's and 80's but my old collection doesnt fit in this catagory.

LOL nice one Mike257.

I've been working in a tobacco shop (a legit one, not one that has a head-shop in the back) as a part-time job since I got to college in fall of 2005, so I've got about 10 pipes. In the order I got them:

Peterson #408 St. Patricks Day
No name basket pipe bent Bulldog
Dennis Ural Meerschaum. Doesn't have a shape name, but its a 1/4 bent, and looks like soft-serve ice cream after it comes out of the machine into a cone. Nice and swirly.
Peterson Killarney Ebony Dress 01
Dennis Ural Meerschaum full bent, no carving
Peterson Irish Harp XL02
Savinelli Yachtsman in the Virginia finish
Thomas Christiano Straight Billiard (gorgeous, gorgeous grain)
Cheap clay pipe (clays smoke great. remarkably cool smoking, cooler than a meerschaum, even though the bowls get so hot you have to hold them by the stem)

Favorite: Erik Nording Freehand Unfinished Autograph. Mr. Nording himself came to my shop to do a pipe event. I went in on a day off to chat with him because he's essentially a legend. He gave me this one that he carved himself and signed. I haven't smoked it yet. Not sure when I will, but its been two years.

Next one to aquire: Savinelli New Art Straight Billiard.

You guys?

The Upshall R grade is a nice looking pipe, that would definitly be my style, Where would I get something like that and what could I expect to pay. My dad smoked a pipe and I tried it a few times, but when I was younger it just wasnt my thing. Now in my 40 I could easily see myself sitting on the back porch at night with a pipe. I tried the cigar thing for a while but they make me sick after a while.

I'm with Mike here but had to quit that stuff for a job I wanted to keep

I've been a pipe smoker since college--started in 1971, I think, with three pipes and a rack/humidor outfit I found at a yard sale. One of those pipes has strayed somewhere and I keep hoping it will turn up; the other two are still with me, and one's still my favorite. I've got a Peterson of one of the more modest lines and two or three Cellini Originals that I bought when the Cellini store was still in business in Chicago, and recently got an old Guildhall cleaned up; but on the whole it's a smallish and very low-priced collection.

Mike, have you joined up at Smokers Forums? That's as great a resource for pipe smoking as SRP is for straight shaving. You might see me over there--"rastewart" there as here.

I just dropped my Cavicchi 4C and upon impact with the floor my stem broke off, I am flustered right now, But do any of the fellow briarsmen have some one who can repair this stem. PM or post if any on has some suggestions. This break is clean and flush on shaft and stem.

Thanks Bri

Nice, have you ever op to smoke out of one of them ?
