About 3 Weeks Since I Started Smoking So I Thought I Would Show My Pipes

[cshubhra]

• My First Pipe - Paykoc Imports Straight Bulldog Meerschaum
  
• My Second (And most favorite) - AKB Meerschaum Lattice Volcano
  
• My third (My best, but too big bowl for me unfortunately) - Savinelli Silver 606 EX Bent Billiards
  
• My fourth (And first estate purchase) - Van Roy Magic Cake - Straight Billiards - - Estimated to be from 1945
  

Four pipes in a month!

A nice starter rotation you got there, might I suggest picking up a few Cobs, no rotation is complete without em :puffpipe:

 

[cshubhra]

Thank you Pagan - I plan to get a few Cobs - specially small ones with 5 minute bowls during my next order.

Ah yes, and so it starts, your downward spiral into Pipe Addiction Disorder (PAD). But hey, it's a fun problem that most of us here share, and you have a great start. All your pipes look great to me, and I hope you enjoy smoking the heck out of them. Welcome aboard!

 

[Chasing Embers]

Excellent starting point, and love that volcano!

 

[buroak]

You are off to a fine start. Try some Falcons, too. They really are hard to beat at any price.

An array of sizes is good. You'll see that the large pipe will find a place in your stable. A wide chamber can open out complex blends. You can fill it half or two-thirds full, and smoke it intermittently over a day. Small pipes likewise have good uses.

Thank you Orley... I plan to keep my collection 'small' so that I can smoke them 'regularly' and they should be 'interesting ' ! However small, regular and interesting are all relative terms and open to interpretation!

Thanks chasing embers - the volcano is indeed my favorite - and I am intrigued by Meerschaums.
Thanks buroak ... will try them!

 

[cshubhra]

Thank you MSO ... I only fill up the large one to half and still never have been able to finish in one sitting. I will smoke it over 2 or 3 sessions as you rightly suggested.

You are off to a great start Padawan!!!

Excellent group of pipes, good advice by Pagan, get some cobs. I personally love the diplomat. I feel there is always room for a clay pipe I love "Old Dominion Pipe Company" they are in the USA. The VENUS Clay Pipe is the one I like. Great for a 20 minute short smoke, you have to run a piece is wire through from mouthpiece to smoking chamber occasionally as the draft hole is quite tight.

 

[cshubhra]

Thank you John and Oldman. I do play to try them out

 

[scrooge]

Great start! You could always trade the big Sav with somebody for something more your size. Or just keep it an have a great all dayer.

 

[cshubhra]

Thank you Scrooge- I prefer to keep the Sav though - smoke it in multiple sessions, or smoke a real light tobacco in it when I have a lot of time!

 

[deathmetal]

That 606 is an awesome beast. Looks like it would be very useful for someone engaged in prolonged labor.
Hmm, I ended up on SmokingPipes again looking at Savinellis... how does this happen?

 

[cshubhra]

Thank you death metal and happy hunting for pipes

 

[dread]

Great little collection.
Welcome to the addiction!

 

[cshubhra]

Thank you dread!

 

[weezell]

Good start with the meers. They always smoke good, will not burn out, and very little ghosting. Meers are my pipe of choice 90% of the time...

 

[cshubhra]

I love meers weezel ... I started out with two meers, I am intrigued by their properties and still smoke the meers (specially the volcano) most of the time. thank you for your encouragement!
