It's my first pipe, my father gave it to me. Unfortunately his tobacco is very old and stale and made for a terrible first smoke. I think I will buy some vanilla blend when I drive out to Philadelphia.

That's a nice first pipe!

You could also join in on the Newbie Sampler Trade for pipes. That will allow you to try several different kinds of tobacco that an experienced smoker enjoys and can tailor to your preferences.

I thought I'd post this photo for Kinnscience after a conversation we had tonight



The pipes on the left are all Tanganyika "kiko" meers. On the right is a Barling, a kiko meer-lined briar bulldog and a Pioneer bent dublin, all african meers with that one exception

I can't help you. A serious Peterson collector or someone well-versed in pipemaking history would be your best bets for information.

Im too lazy to give picks one by one but you get the idea



Top shelf- My mutes- I play trumpet proffesionally hence my handle "sounds"
second shelf unopened tins of everything from Sobranie to Dunhill and then 24 pipes 12 on each side of the rack and then two that I have on display that are too big for me to smoke. I have the usual suspects: Dunhill, Charatan, Savanelli, Comoy, Nording, Ben Wade, Brebbia, Sven Lars, etc. etc.
3rd shelf aging tobacco from various years and makers as well as my mixing tobacco and my Humidor with Cigars from all over including cuba.

Welcome! Nice to see young women enjoying the hobby as well.

We are able to tell it is a Stanwell from the little S with a crown over it. Nice looking pipe!

Here's my modest collection. (Clockwise) My Vauen LOTR pipe, Lorenzo Spitfire, Amphora X-tra estate pipe, Arcadia estate pipe, and Peterson System 312. Two MM cob pipes round out my collection so far.

Wow, very nice african meers. I love african meers, they smoke soooo cool and evenly. Frankly, I don't think much can compare to them. I've smoked softer meers .. and I prefer the africans if for no other reason than they seem to smoke a bit dryer... and of course they are stronger. I missed a nice Thompson the other night. I did get a real nice turkish carved ... it is the most spectacular carved I have ever seen ... I got it for about $56. When it arrives I'll post it. I can't wait to get it. Meanwhile please check out the ebay photo .. let me know what ya think:

Hey bro,

You got another one comin ... in the mail. This one is the best of all the ones he had in the store. I have to admit .. I had to practically pry it loose from my hands, but I just couldn't let ya down. I only filled it about 3 times. I did need to buff the stem .. cuz it sat in his store so long it had oxidation .. and I can't stand the taste.

That Cavvichi is extremely sweet. Nice job on the modifications, thanx.
