The recent discussion about Edward's pipes made me want to show off one of mine. I have not smoked this pipe, it is one of the very few pipes that I own just to "collect".
When Don Drew, the former owner of the Lakeland Edward's location, passed away, his wife sold off his own personal smokers through the store. I was lucky enough to get a phone call when those pipes went up for sale, and I landed three of them for myself: An Ardor Meteora Canadian, a Stanwell bamboo shanked billiard, and this Edward's freehand. The Ardor and Stanwell have been folded into my regular rotation... but this Edward's is displayed in a place of honor on my bookcase in remembrance of Don Drew. :D
