My pipe collection

Don't expect to see anything expensive here~~ :nana:
This one is the most expensive one in my collection ($55 including shipping).

A pipe made by Jirsa (Grade 3 BLOWFISH), Czech Republic



Very good smoke and I like it very much (second favorite because the bowl is a little too big for me).
My most recent purchase from eBay

Chacom Nature



Have not smoked this yet, but I like its shape
Hardcastle Special Deluxe 4



This one is my current favorite, and it is very cheap since its condition was very bad (no one wanted to bid on it)
Stanwell Ivarsson Design



I believe this is a very good flake pipe (narrow and deep bowl), although I still have difficulty with smoking flake (it keeps going out).....
Unknown pipe since the stamp has worn off



A good smoke (extremely open draw). Extremely bad condition when I received it (a piece of wood inside the bowl 8O !).
Poker shape Weber



Nothing really special about this....
Tracy Mincer Freehand



The bowl is relatively small, a great choice for a quick smoke.
Stamped Sunrise (properly a sub-brand of Comoy's)



Some glue like thing outside the pipe when I received it plus a broken stem.

I sanded the finish (was planning to re-stain it but I like how it look right now) and replace the stem with a corn cob pipe stem.
Savinelli Duca Carlo



A gift from my girlfriend and it is my first new pipe.
Author's Churchwarden (8 inches)



Claimed to be a briar pipe but I think it is a pearwood.

Not a very good smoke indeed, but I like its shape and size (good for a quick smoke).
Chacom Riviera



This was my favorite and I still like this very much.

This pipe was in extremely bad condition when I received it (good thing about that is it only cost me $10 for this very great pipe).

I made a mistake when polishing the stem.....

Other than the stem, (I think) this pipe looks very great now.
These are all my pipes.

Thanks for watching.

I really need to thanks everyone who have ever helped me with pipe smoking.

Without their help, I won't know what to avoid or go for.
If I do have a nice collection, it is because of this great forum.
Thanks everyone!! :worship:

LoL
I am not embarrassed at all, especially after seeing those Chinese who own dozen of expensive pipes but don't know what pipe smoking is. I think that is what should be embarrassed with.
I like my pipes and I enjoy smoking with them.

I don't get that either....
One more thing, I do like buying some bad condition pipe from eBay.

Not only because it will be cheap, I really enjoy the restoration process.

Isn't watching a old, dirty becoming beautiful/nice again feel really great?

Plus sometimes you will be surprised by how beautifully it can be (like my Hardcastle and the 2 Chacom).
