    Here is my latest pipes. I got these from Mrjimmy3773, that is his ebay name. He lives local here and comes to our club. The bottom is mde by GBD. I've been wanting a horn shape, this is close and it was unsmoked. The next one up is gorgeous. It had been smoked lightly. It is not signed but the artist was very skilled and it is the best smoker I have. The meerschaum has been smoked too, but I have just finished reeming, cleaning and polishing. As soon as I m done typing this Im going to smoke it. Ive always wanted one of the carved meers. The tobac is mostly suttliff, the french quarter isnt bad or the maple street, I am totally hooked on Molto Dolce. The irish whiskey isnt really my thing but you can taste the whiskey in it which impressed me. The sweet killarney boasts a cream carmel flavor but its really more like apricot, I know two totally different things but thats my take.

    I know what I need, smoke, I can't recall the last time I tasted it....Gandalf in the mines of Moria.

    "we shall have to share pipes, as good friends must at a pinch'....'I keep a treasure or two near my skin, as precious as rings to me. Here's one: my old wooden pipe. And here's another an unused one...He held up a small pipe with a wide flattened bowl, and handed it to Gimli. 'Does that settle the score between us', said Merry. 'Most noble hobbit, it leaves me deep in your debt."

    A couple of very nice additions to your collection! Can we have a close up of the GBD please? They both look very nice, but I love the shape of the "horn" design.

    Very nice! I have a meer that's really similar. They are interesting smokes, that's for sure, my only complaint is how heavy it is - it's strictly a 'sit down' smoke
