A Peek at My Non-Meerschaums

[topd]

I suspect that those that have come to know me think I only have meerschaum pipes.... I thought I'd

post some of my other pipes.....
(Some Pete's)

(Misc... Nording, Cavicchi, GBD)

(Dunhill)

(Rhodesian, Bulldogs)

(Calabash)

(And of course.... Cobs!)

Impressive TopD. :clap:
You should really try a Cob when you get the chance. :D

Nice collection! How do you like the Calabash on the right in the picture? And what is the make? Thanks for sharing. :puffpipe:

First you're the Meer King, and NOW you want to be the cob king?
Well TOO BAD! We allready have one and he's also a PRESIDENT. Greedy son of a...
With all the time you've got to snap fancy photos you better get to work on those brown stems Mister!
P.S. I really like that 18 pipe rack/humidor you got there. Thanks for the photos. Go big or go home. :wink:

I'd love to take that bent Dunhill off your hands.

 

[topd]

Ha! I love a room full of smart-asses LOL. (Lawrence, Fisher) Spartan, you're a Pill!
The calabash on the right is a Strumbach, made in Austria. It's got an African gourd body, but a press meerschaum

bowl. It smokes wonderfully, but will never color like a block as on on the left. That one's a Baki.
I couldn't do without my Forever Stems for Cobs. I break in a new cob every week or so, and grab a handful when

I head to the lake or deer woods. If I mess up the pipe, get blood on it or something, I put the stem in my pocket

and toss the pipe.
Spartan, your right, I do need to get my Brass & Stem cleaner out. I've been confined since surgery the other day, and

this 'stint' they left in my kidney feels like a coke bottle in there. Those stems will give me something to do. It's

lighting out right now anyway, so the golf course would be a bad choice today.

A grand collection, Thanks for sharing TopD!

 

[lankfordjl]

Awesome collection! We have a very similar taste in pipes and designs.

 

[shaintiques]

I really like the center pipe in the 5th pic, a chacom? Not sure, white colored stem. It is very distinct.

 

[guitarguy86]

Those are some nice pipes. I especially like the Calabash on the left.

 

[sajgre]

I have seen your impressive meerschaum collection but briars are very nice as well! I specially like Rhodesian and Bulldogs

 

[uberam3rica]

You have a great collection

 

[batdemon]

Great collection TopD! I'm with shantiques, that bulldog with the white stem is gorgeous! :clap:

 

[topd]

Thanks Guys.... I had just gotten the Chacom from Iwan Ries & Co. a few weeks ago. Was going to give

you a link, but looked and I guess I got the only one they had. It's a Chacom Model U1, made in France.

Great collection, Top!
I'm also envious of your photography skills!

 

[cigrmaster]

I don't think you have enough pipes. You better get your butt in gear and start ordering. Nice collection.
