    A quick count and I'm up to almost 30 pipes...friggin wow. As I started to realize a growing collection, I set myself a goal to try and obtain at least one pipe from as many different countries as I can.

    So far I have pipes from 9 Countries:

    USA (2, Uncle A's, 2 MM Cobs, Jake Hackert and 2 Randy Wileys)
    Canada (Brigham Algonquin)
    Italy (5 Savinellis and a Mauro Armellini ),
    Ireland (2 Petersons),
    France (Chacom),
    Turkey (My Altinok Camera shaped Meerschaum),
    Poland (Mr. Brog Scoot 52),
    Denmark (4 Bjarnesm a Neerup, a Nording, and a Johs),
    Japan (Tsuge)

    Just need to add pipes from:
    England (pretty confident this pipe wont be a Dunhill, at least not a new one)
    Germany
    Russia

    Then since two of my favorite shapes are the Prince and Author (the ones from Savinelli) I'm thinking of getting one of each, from each of the lines that I don't have yet.

    "The fact is, squire, the moment a man takes to a pipe, he becomes a philosopher. It's the poor man's friend; it calms the mind, soothes the temper, and makes a man patient under difficulties. It has made more good men, good husbands, kind masters, indulgent fathers, than any other blessed thing on this universal earth."

    It's been quite interesting to see some of the places a pipe comes from.
