    Danish Freehand Pipes

    Those are nice looking. Seems like all these are tied back to Preben Holme in some way or another. He must have had some pretty big sway when that style became popularized.

I know of nording, preben holm, Ben wade, but not sure about others I see on ebay such as Knute, Bjarne and likely others. I know pipedia, but I am looking for first hand experience. Which do you...

    What's Good Comedy to You

    The Three Stooges. My dad and I used to watch them together when I was a kid. I still occasionally watch them and they're as funny to me now as they were then.

    I have six pipes I bounced around with since I started pipe smoking this spring. Three of them are Missouri Meerschaum cobs, one a savinelli 320, a wiebe Radiator and a Nording diplomat shaped pipe.
