I hope to gather a collection on that scale.
Those freehand Dutch and Danish - Beautiful. Really nice.

I am actually in the process of obtaining funds for a few pipe purchases.
I am selling my Apple Powerbook G4 right now which should get me around 700 buckeroos...which I will use towards some new pipe purchases.

Cant wait.

'bout to

I tell you what David, those Ardors you are looking at are gorgeous. With such a start you are bound to have a wonderful pipe collection.

Thanks! It can be a little difficult to hold with my teeth due to the stems, but it smokes great. I have dedicated it to vapors, with St James flake being the majority. Haven't been able to try Escudo yet.

well I figured I should snap some photos and post my collection. Its pretty small and mostly consist of cheap ebay estates.

My first pipe, a basket pipe from my local tinder box. H.I.S. Made in Italy.



Next, a Marxman from Ebay



Next another Marxman, also from ebay.



next, a Kilroy also from ebay



And my most expensive pipe, a Petersen Aran b5 with p-lip.

Beautiful pipes & nice pictures Jeromy.

That Petersen is gorgeous.
I like the Kilroy as well.

Nice looking pipes Jeromy! Like the Peterson.

Hope this pic isn't too big. It's my new toy, smokes like a dream but so far tastes like crap because of the bare briar bowl. Hope I get it smoked in soon so I can start tasting some tobacco too.



It sure sucks to post after pics like jeromy's photos. I must dig out that tripod and try to experiment with some nice background and better lightning.

That's a nice Cavicchi. I think his rustics are a real good buy.

Thats funny. I was looking at this very one today as well.
Actually asked them to put it on hold for me for a few days to think it over.
Comparing this Rusticated Cherrywood to Ardor's - this one is pretty similar and about $100 cheaper. As MadHatter mentioned, this one and several others out there, are on sale and definitely VERY GOOD BUYS right now.

Ser Jacopo's Picta Van Gogh Sandblasted's are also supremely delightful to look at. Pieces with supreme elegance. So pleasantly different.

You know what else is a good buy Hatter!
Sara Eltang. Daughter to the famed Tom Eltang.
She is a talented one, just like her Dad. Her pieces are however far below the cost of her fathers. Looking for a good buy in something that is clearly undervalued! Sara has the goods. You gotta look around for her stuff but they are truly beautiful. Some of them in particular.

A little bit of digging around in this slightly above average market for pipes can get very fruitful results!

Very jealous of your new baby Selleri.
Hope you enjoy the heck out of it.
Looking forward to your tripod fantasy enduced pics to come.

Edit:
Need to clarify the Sara Eltang comment.
She does work on the but from what I understand its more directed by her father Tom, who 'guides' the process of this line and both his daughter Sara and other members in their family.

Nice finish on that poker! A note to myself that I don't need another pipe.

Thanks for the props on the photos/pipes guys, they were kind of an experiment.

Is the black ring in the shank a little loose on the bottom side? Or is it just the pic?

Anyway, nice rustication, and the whole pipe looks like it feels nice to the hand.

Wow, I didnt even notice that, but yes, you are right, there is the smallest opening between the black ring, and the rest of the pipe. Just a beauty flaw, it doesnt affect the air circulation

And yeh, its great to hold, fits my hand perfectly.
