    I prefer #1 the most, and then #4 is a very close second. Good luck with your choice!

    In agreement with the bird.
    Present #1 to your friend and send me #4! (-;

    Snus, snuff and briar.
    Not much more required in a day.

    You're a good friend !

    "The fact is, squire, the moment a man takes to a pipe, he becomes a philosopher. It's the poor man's friend; it calms the mind, soothes the temper, and makes a man patient under difficulties. It has made more good men, good husbands, kind masters, indulgent fathers, than any other blessed thing on this universal earth."

    #3 and #4 as a second (looks like it has 2 fills)

    There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable. Mark Twain

    “Very few people are focusing on the potential damage this ill-conceived and hastily assembled homage to the ability of bureaucrats to conceive of all manner of problems where problems don't exist then apply solutions to those problems that only create new problems without solving the original problems at all will bring to many sectors.

    Not a bad one among them. I'm up to 3 Lucianos - they break in so easy that I can't help myself. But then, all of my Stanwells seem to like me too. BTW, who carved #6? I don't know my geneology that well, and I can't decipher the script so I can ask pipephil.

    My philosophy is to give a gift that you would want to keep. Pick out the one you like best.

    I'd have to say 4 or 5. Both have beautiful grain on them. I love bright pipes with a great contrast to them. Whatever you choose I'm sure he will be happy to have such a generous friend.

    Shoot! Just grab one of each and then you have no problem!

    If at first you don't succeed you are running about average.

    #4

    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."
