    Buying Multiples of the Same Pipe

    Well, not the same shape, but all of my seventeen pipes are E.A. Carey Magic Inch pipes…. Except for one MM cob and one Duncan Hill Aerosphere that I bought from E.A. Carey. My first two Carey’s were $15.00 each in 1964.

    Who Taught You to Smoke a Pipe?
