I would like to know what you collect and how many pipes you own. I know some of you guys have massive collections and I would also like to know how many pipes you have. I am really wanting to hear from peck, fish, foggy, Bradley and others I know who have some seriously large collections. Do some of you guys with big collections have no clue as to how many you have? If you don't know I need you to count them so I can some day aspire to be like some of you.
I personally find it pretty cool when people have more than 40 pipes and up to hundreds of pipes. Do you guys have specific collecting ideas i.e do you collect certain factories, certain artisans, certain shapes and so on. I know sabble collects Barling's, Al aka ssjones collects a certain style of bulldogs and all from English factories, foggy loves his Dunhill's and so on. I believe that many of the new members would find these collections fascinating like I do, so please let us know more about your collections.
For myself, I collect No. American artisan pipes and have 37 of those so far. I collect shapes like Dublins, Apples, Rhodesians, Billiards, Lovats, Brandy's, Calabash and Cherrywood. I collect group 4-5 sized pipes that I believe will smoke my flakes really well. So let's hear from you guys and if you want to post pictures of some of your favorites, that would be great as I always love looking at awesome looking pipes.
