This time the itch was hard to scratch. It took several tries to make it go away.

It took a couple Savinelli OTTAGONOs inspired by @TheIronMonkey post, and Bewlay Double Bore I couldn't pass up, a Sunrise Etched Grain from a Briarville flash sale, and a rusticated Capitello Corinzio from @PaulTheScandinavian .

Then if those were not enough, the itch kept on itching. Acquired a Peterson Newgrange 106, Peterson Dracula blasted small apple churchwarden, and a Smoking Pipes Irish Seconds (Dracula) blasted Billiard.

When those didn't quit get the itch scratch, I grabbed a few meers.

First meer I had, but had Rich at Briarville repair it so it is sort of new to me. My friend sent me his gramps old meer that needed a shank re-fitted and new mouthpiece made after the amber one broke. I also grabbed an unmarked African/Austrian? meer in a fitted Ural case, and an old J.Sommer meerschaum.

When I thought I was done I wasn't. I also nabbed a really old EAW Imperial and from our site sponcer Al Pascia 3 Ser Jacopo briars. I will add that Al Pascia has the best of customer service!

Got confirmation from my daughters. They said that when a pad itches it's a good idea to replace it with a new one.

I just hope they are not to young, that when you talk about your Pipe Itches, they don’t start rubbing Hydrocortisone or Neosporin all over your pipes, telling you; Dad we did it to help the itch. LOL 🤣
