   Love the Castello sea rock and the Sav Bruna on the right ! Very nice score. Congratulations

   "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."

   Great purchase! Especially like the Brebbia Italia which has a nice cross grain. Congratulations.

    Those are some fantastic pipes; you have amazingly good taste, and luck! I especially like the old Antiquary and the rustics. Only 200 to 300? I thought I was bad with a mere 65. Merry Christmas!

    Nice I like the Oom Paul best.

    There is nothing like being left alone again, to walk peacefully with oneself in the woods.
    To boil one's coffee and fill one's pipe, and to think idly and slowly as one does it.
