Thank you all for the very nice comments. I appreciate it more than you could know.
@ antbauers and Six. Yes I have a few "grails" I have yet to aquire. First is the Kaywoodie "Liberty Bell", next would be a Kaywoodie Calabash, and last but not least would be one of the first Supergrain's with the clover inlaid into the shank and stem. I have the patience of an oyster though and I will get them eventually.
@ six. Yes sir I do have a favorite. There are several but my all time will probably be a disappointment to most, in the fact that it is not flashy or fancy , but I have a very early, around 1931 KB&B Drinkless Kaywoodie medium apple panel that just fits in my hand, clenches like no other and is the best smoking pipe I own. It smokes cool no matter what you put it in, it magically seems to stay lit no matter how long I lay it down, it has a smooth easy draw that would convince you that it doesn't have a stinger. I paid 22 dollars for it and I wouldn't trade it for another pipe of any kind to save my life! I may even be buried with it.
@ lestrout. No sir I do not own any of Bill's POY but I am in the hunt and hope to one day. I have tried to win a few off of Ebay but never get it done. I usually get sniped right at the end. I do own a newer shellcraft that I like very much.
To the rest of you thanks again for all the kind compliments. Happy puffing! :puffpipe:
