New guy from AZ, been lurking/learning for a month or two.
Fairly new to piping, I was out in NC taking care of my elderly father earlier this year and saw his old pipes in the garage and asked if I could have a couple. He told me to take them all or they were gonna get tossed out. He hadn’t smoked in decades, but I remembered him smoking and having them when I was a kid in seventies.
Anyway, I packed ‘em up and shipped them home. I’ve refurbished them, and with the guidance of a friend at work that’s been a pipe smoker for years have been figuring out what I’m doing and what I like.
I’ve gotten a MM Eaton and polished Morgan for work and daily drivers, and enjoy the smaller briars I inherited frequently.
I lean more to non-aros and VaPers, but have gathered a few.
Pretty grateful to have the starter set I’ve got:
-Stanwell Reg #90 tomato
-Stanwell Reg #70 volcano
-Royal Danish 988 billiard
-Royal Danish 925 volcano
-Iwan Ries 26 danish pot
-no name danish brandy
-Nording NorCoat freehand sitter
-haven’t figured out maker freehand
-1970’s Missouri Meerschaum freehand
-Sven Lar 1FS handmade with briar rest and tamp
and a couple little MM’s for daily beaters.
I’ve got a meager selection of tobac, can’t wait to find my daily blend, I’ll keep trying!
Anyway, I look forward to learning/sharing what I can.
