I had a great time at the Chicago pipe show and I am sure I will be back. I met some of the forum members, drank a fair bit, and smoked way too much.
The pipes I picked up are shown below.
If you haven't been to a show then you should definitely attend. It was a grand old time.

Wow, very nice haul Peck! Great selection of shapes. I love the blast on that JT Cooke stubby Dublin, that looks really nice!
Well done! :clap:

That is an amazing haul. They couldn't have gone to a more appropriate place. Enjoy and keep us informed.

I think there are a couple of others, but I am smoking those now and they are not in the pic. This is most of them for sure.
Trust me when I say that I showed significant PAD restraint. Only someone who has been to the Chicago show can truly understand that statement.

Oh, no! Not only is peck cellaring pipe-tobacco, but now he's also cellaring pipes!

My eye scanned the page and was attracted like a moth to the flame to the shiny finishes, and it wasn't until I re-scanned more slowly that I noticed the Red Rusticated Rhodesian.

I just liked writing that...but, it does look like a 'cool' pipe!!

I should have named the carvers. Starting from the top left of the picture and moving clockwise we have: Armentrout, Cooke, Parks, Markel, Castello, Eltang, Layton, Teipen, Davidson, Davidson.
There is one I foregot to include. My first Tsuge, made by Kikuchi - to my knowledge, the most attractive carver in all of Pipedom.

Yowza!
Good stuff.
I love that Parks.
And the Eltang bone/horn rhodesian is amazing.

Thanks Troy. Yeah, I am a sucker for horn. And it was quite exciting to buy an Eltang and then to chat with Eltang himself over a bowl a half hour later.

He killed that shape to perfection!

Unusual and unique it is.

That is Tom Eltang!
Nice collection, Peck. How many pipes are you up to now and do you smoke all of them?

peck, awesome haul. Love that Eltang and Tsuge. Give me a run down on how those two smoke in comparison to some of your Parks and other No American carvers. All of your blasted pipes look like they have great blasts, how about smome more pics on those. That Tsuge is really outstanding, love the Birdseye and grain.

WoW! What a haul. A very good looking group. This was something like my 17th CPCC show and the first year I didn't bring home a pipe. I was hoping to get a pipe for the collection I have been after but it was not yet available but I did come home with some great memories, books, three silent auction wins, the cigar dinner goodie bag and some treasured gifts. No bills or IOU's will help me get a jump on the GKCPS show in June. 8O

An amazing set of pipes. No wonder so many carvers were saying they had a great show.

Peck, if you keep it up, one of these days your going to be able to put a fair pipe collection together. :lol:

That top center blast is unbelievable.

Have you ever shown your entire collection on here? As a group?
