   I celebrated my birthday this week and was surprised by my 15 year old nephew with the following poem. I also received a pipe (a Caminetto, rusticated,full bent) but the poem trumps it all.

   Uncle Mike
   Has many pipes
   Every day a different type
   Different look
   Different feel
   So many that you have to wonder if they are all real
   Enough to smoke for a year straight
   Some may say it is his fate
   Knows all there is to know about them
   From the bowl to the stem
   Each one has a different scent
   Tobacco of the past
   Smoked until the last
   Each with a history of its own
   Keeps most at his home
   Each unique in its own special way
   Especially the ones he buys used, on eBay

   Wow, great poem. Perhaps a good starter pipe & tobacco would be just the gift for him on his 18th.

    Kids got skills! Happy birthday!

    As long as I got a pipe full of baccy and a nose full of snuff, I'm a happy camper
