My First His and Hers Cased Pipe Set - Pics

I've always been intrigued by cased pipe sets, especially older ones. Thanks to Marty Pulvers for giving me a great price on this set that I found on his site. I have never owned a Weber pipe before, but my wife liked the looks of this set, plus I've never heard bad things about Weber pipes. These pipes aren't what you'd call collectors items, or high grades, but pipe sets don't seem to be all that common. I guess they are chunky Rhodesians, or maybe Bullcaps, whatever, they needed just a little polish and wax, and wow, what interesting looking pipes! Judging by the look of the case, I would guess they were made somewhere between 1940 and 1960. I have no idea of their age, but they smoke really great, with a wide bowl and open draw. My wife likes bent pipes so I will use the straight one most of the time, but we'll probably switch pipes occasionally. :wink:

I agree Jim, these seem to be rather special Webers. Not having owned one before, I didn't really know what to expect, but my wife and I have both smoked a couple of bowls so far and were surprised how well they smoke. She said she likes it better than she thought she would.
I also believe you're right about older U.S. made pipes, as I have been smoking quite a few of them for years and find I smoke them as much as any other pipes I have. Haven't tried an Ehrlich or Edwards yet, but there's still time.... :mrgreen:
