Photos of your pipes

[IHT]

alright bastages. in honor of FINALLY getting my Mastro de Paja and Da Vinci's back from the B&M after being thoroughly cleaned, i decided to take some photos. i know some will be duplicates of others i've already taken, but you can just skip over those... wankers.

lets get a group photo on here first (minus a couple that were in my truck at the time)

[IHT]

here is the big bad Da Vinci that i have yet to smoke. it's friggin HUGE!! biggest pipe i have. it's the one on the bottom of the photo before this.



and here's a photo of the grain all around the bowl.



and here's a photo of the birds-eye on top of the bowl.



I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THESE DIDN'T SHOW UP??

[IHT]

NEXT UP IS MY KARL ERIK EXTRAVAGANT. sandblasted, with tons o' birdseye on the bowl.



and here's the birdseye...

[IHT]

next up are my Mastro de Paja horns that i have photos of already...



and HERE IS THE ONE MY STEP-SON JACKED UP that i just got back today... amen. <--- was my first fathers day gift.

[IHT]

here is a Meerschaum that i've never showed anyone, and rarely smoke. it has a DEEEEEEP bowl. i use it to test new tobaccos from time to time.



here's a shot of the top o' the bowl.

[IHT]

alright, first here is a Nording "Signature" pipe... it's an "alright" pipe, big, thick walls... not the best for aromatics, and when it was given to me, that's what i smoked. i think i need to get a new stem (i don't like the current stem) and it would be pretty darn good.



here is my little SMS Meerschaum banker shaped pipe. tiny, tiny bowl, but an excellent smoker. i have no clue why i dont smoke my meers more often. this one i scratched the bottom of when i was new to meer's... whooopsy.

[IHT]

another Nording. this one is considerably smaller in length and bowl diameter, but i like the shape (canadian), solid pipe, strong bit, etc. it might be a "gift" for someone soon.



here's the "silver" portion of the band with the Nording name on it.

[IHT]

yet another Nording?? dang, i didn't think i had that many of them. ah well, this one is brand new (second hand) to me, and i have yet to smoke it. it was cleaned by the seller, but i have to do it once myself to feel good.
this is a freehand sitter, looks just like a large hunk o' burl, doesn't it?



another angle of the same pipe.

[IHT]

this is how my Sasieni 1 Dot Skater looks now. i like the baby-blue colored dot and band on the stem. i know 1 dots aren't their top o' the line, but this bastage has a HUGE bowl, and smoke really nice, and it's still not broken in.



and another photo of that small Savinelli Poker w/ clear stem so many loved. i haven't smoked that in a while, need to clean it and dedicate it to a different tobacco.

[IHT]

now, the big ol' bowled cheapy Savinelli Hercules that smokes so well... this is the pipe i have dedicated to my MacBarens Vanilla Cream. i'd love to get a lucite stem put on it though, that's about the ONLY thing wrong with this bugger.



flame grain on the bottom corner, and the opposite side and shank is nothing but birdseye, which is pictured below.

[IHT]

on to the stanwells. i have 4 of them.

these two are the stanwells that i bought my dad about a year or two before he died. they weren't smoked that often.
this one is a dark sandblasted freehand "brazilia" line.



this one is very small. it's a nose warmer for sure. when i bought it (online), i thought it was a longer canadian style... well, it's the shortest pipe i have now. smokes alright, but obviously the smoke can get hot due to the short length.
i do believe this is from the "golden danish" line.

[IHT]

this is my Stanwell Horn, i think its from the "legends" line, shape #204 i do believe. and to be honest, i may send it off to get it bored out so it'll smoke better. right now, it sounds like i have a flute in my mouth, it whistles a little bit.



this one I got from "JoePipe". its from their Buffalo line... the "Stanwell" logo has been buffed off. this is a Lovat shape, and what i smoke Penzance in, and a few others. very, very good smoker. mr. joepipe gave me the pipe in person, as i happened to be on a business trip to hawaii when i won it. so, we sat in the parking lot by my hotel shooting the breeze. great guy, check out his website, he's got excellent pipes to choose from.

[IHT]

i think these next photos are the last ones i have to upload. they are of my 2 Tim Wests. one i'm not a fan of. HUGE bowl, as you'll see in the photo.



here's how big the bowl is. i stuck a quarter in there and it went about halfway down inside.

[IHT]

and, this is the tim west that i smoke most of my Virginias in, which was only Rattrays Hal o' the Wynd until today. this bugger smokes awesome. my neighbor bought it off my buddy that i got into pipes, but he lost it in a box and then found it a few years later. you can't see in the photo, but its a lucite stem that is a smokey/hazy/brownish/silver color.

I got my first half decent pipe, from Frenchy:

Can't wait for it to arrive.
