I have had my pipe collection double in size before (see here) and it just happened again. If my PAD continues like this I am in serious trouble.
For a while now I have considered getting a smaller pipe for shorter smokes and because it is lighter so good for walking and smoking. I don't mind filling half a bowl but a lighter weight option warranted a new pipe. I tried a corncob and the light weight was wonderful so I started looking for a briar pipe. Problem is I found two. I fixed that problem by buying both and they just arrived in the mail today.
I got a Peterson Trinity 15 and a Butz Choquin Old French 1901. The bowl size on the Peterson is still reasonable but with a nice light weight (similar weight to a cob in the hand). This is my first pipe with silver on it and after a little polish it shines up well. The Old French is tiny and it is so light weight I could keep it in my mouth all day.
For Christmas my wife gave me a gift voucher to the local tobacconist so I could get myself a pipe lighter so I threw that into the picture as well.
