2mos.and I've gone from one MM Legend to a collection of pipes including mostly aged Algerian or 'imported' briar, block meer, cherrywood, and two (early uninformed selections)artificials. I've got full bent, lovat, Canadian, Prince, Dublin, curved, smooth, sandblasted, round, oval, square stems. I've got a Kaywoodie, a Comoys, a couple LHS Purex, some no names, a couple Butz Choquin, a MM Freehand and yes, an estate Dunnie.
As for tobacco, I've been busy there too. I won't bore you, but with this week's delivery bringing me 9 new flavors, to go with 13 other blends I've acquired.
This new hobby has become somewhat of an obsession. It's awoken the consumer beast within.
Reading about other folks enjoyment on these forums has been insightful, warm and encouraging. That last part is where I need to begin to moderate from. I've been encouraged to over indulge in a very pleasant past time.
I feel like a gambler when I bid on ebay for something...I'm done there. I'm all out. My competitive nature is unsustainable as is my rate of pipes & tobacco acquisitions.
My favorite bathroom reading? P&C catalogs.
