Nice pipes, I have 1 Bjarne and like it, its a great pipe to start with...

I'm also a fan of the churchwardens.

Welcome aboard. ::
P.S. Some of the time its the tobacco and not the pipe that causes gurgling.

Welcome Phred,

That pipe is quite a beauty. Just wait until you become a hard-core collecting junkie like me. I'm somewhere past 300 pipes @ the moment. ::

Nice pipes and a great start to a collection. I have a Bjarne churchwarden and love it. It may the tobac you are smoking that is causing the dreaded gurgle.
