    I only have two, but one of them I haven't shown yet to y'all.

    First, is the newest that I bought on my birthday. Peterson Shannon B10

    Second, is one I'm rather proud of. He was one of my first restorations. He is a 1976 301 Manx Meer (African Meerschaum) that I found in an antique store. He had a bit of cake build up, heavy tarnish of the silver, and the stem was heavily oxidized. Small amount of chatter on the stem, but he cleaned up beautifully.

    Edited to add: So, let's show 'em off!

    Southerners don't talk slow because they're dumb, we do it because there's really no rush.

    Hah well I already showed mine off in a thread on my PAD but what the heck.
    My first Pete. A meer I got in a lot of 8 for a very reasonable price. The stem was just taking a bath in some bleach when I took this photo. It smokes like a dream.

    Nice Petes! I love the B10 shape. That Meer should be a fine smoker too I have one of them .

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

    I think that Ebony XL315 has always been my favorite shape.

    All are beautiful, very nice indeed.

    I also really like that shape. I am not a huge fan of the p-lip either, but can tolerate them well enough.

    Nice Pete's. I myself am a Pete Nut and plan on ordering two more Arans and some more tobacco here in the next day or so since I got my tax refund back this week.

    This is the most comfortable pipe I've ever owned, a Donegal Rocky 80s.
    For most blends it's just OK, but it really "found itself" with PS Luxury Navy Flake.

    Lots of pretty wood on this page. I guess I need to add my meager Pete collection to it as well.

    Darwins are awesome, great pics

    Marry the right person, this one decision will determine 90% of your happiness.

    Does a culture based on seperation and competition, of scientific sophistication and mideval religion, offer happiness even as it ravishes the Earth that sustains it?

    My System 303 and my Rocky Donegal.


    Going to have to rethink the Darwins, they look pretty sweet.
