They look venerable and appear to be beloved old friends.

Just what pipes should be.

my daughter (11 years old) got that for me on Fathers Day just a few weeks ago. It has become sort of a family joke.
Suffice it to say it is unused, although I could have used it well many moons ago....

Is that a bent Grabow sneaking into the pic? I think it is.

 

[portascat]

You are right. There are 4 Grabows in the picture.
From the "right":
1. Burgundy pipe on far end is a Special 11
2. Most interior of the "rustic" pipes is a Grand Duke.
3. Pipe furthest to the left in rack is a Savoy filterless.
4. The bent pipe peeking out that you see is a Lark. I never smoke it. It sits in between some stem oil and a cob (washed out by the flash in the picture) that I also don't smoke.

Nice pipes portascat. Thanks for posting them.

You have kept the best pipe (IMO), segregated, the best do tend to stand out in a crowd don't they.

I definitely admire the theme you have in pipes. My collection looks like a I ran through a shoe store and not all fit the same feet. You definitely have a high standard in what you enjoy. thanks for sharing.

well, I prefer the straights, and am not terribly fond of the saddle bit, although I can live with it. My taste in pipes runs to the conservative, and prefer the "working mans" pipe, as opposed to the less mainstream.

 

[portascat]

I figure pipe tastes, like a mans taste in women, liquor, and dogs is a a personal thing and to be accepted, if not always admired. Now you see mine!

 

[teamhavoc28]

Couldn't agree more. Different styles fit different moods. I prefer straights to drive with and bents when I want to think.
