12 Months In - Ruminating on Collecting
Excellent thread. I started out buying American Smoking Pipe Company (ASP) pipes from JBH's and Gary Pesh from OVTC got me hooked on Charatans. Gary was the one who prodded me into going to this this called the CORPS show. He seemed to think I had enough nice pipes to display. Let's just say he... -

It was kind of interesting. John was starting his new tobacco store and Curt and Mark were beginning their pipe carving career. You have to remember this was in the days before email and the web. Your local retail tobacco store was THE only place to find pipes and to learn about the trends. As... -

JT Cooke Big Ass LB Billiard
I had a JT Cooke pipe I bought in the early 90's that I paid around $200 for. It was kind of a billiard looking pipe with a really skinny volcano bowl. I bought it because the blast was unlike anything I had seen before. The stems were remarkable. Regretfully, I traded it away a few years later... -

What Brand/Artisan is Most Represented in Your Collection?
Oh man, we'll see. I had no idea taking pictures would be so difficult. I thought I would simply photograph my Christmas pipe collection and it took me since Veteran's day and 2000 photos later before I even thought I had any shots halfway presentable. There are some pretty cool pipes in there... -

billbearcat, last year's pipe was a killer. It was a real sleeper. This year's is also excellent. You should be really happy with them. Sometimes in the pipe world people lament about earlier production being the best. IMHO, starting in 2000 I think Mark developed his pipes to a point where he... -

1990 - The Cutty This is my favorite design. Mark designed this pipe and Curt and Mark again collaborated in making them. The engineering on this pipe was remarkable. Every single one of these pipes would balance on the stem. This one is in the natural smooth finish and sold for $ 125... -
