There a few more, but I have not closely inspected them. Many odds 'n ends in the cardboard box where all of his pipe stuff was packed.
I recently bought a Pioneer meer and one of the many "Algerian Briar" inexpensive ($10-20 range) estate pipes off of eBay. They're still in the mail.
Welcome! Smoke and cherish those pipes! Many of us wish we had our Fathers (or Grandfather's) pipes to smoke.
My pick out of your collection would be Quiet Nights in the calabash.
Welcome from Florida! I like calabash, too. I lost a good one somehow and am waiting for delivery of a "pre-smoked" replacement. I even ordered a pouch of Capital Black (platinum for me), even though I have tons of old VA tins and bulks on hand. The Captain goes well with a calabash gourd. I just hope nobody's smoked weed in it.
The Calabash gourd was something that I thought a little pretentious, until I smoked a few bowls of an English blend like Quiet Nights through it. Now I don't care what anyone thinks. That calabash is a fine pipe!
That was my thought exactly, but found one at the Newark show for pennies on the dollar in the early 1990s so couldn't say no. It disappeared sometime during a move, a hurricane, and a home renovation. My hope is that someone's enjoying it. I didn't smoke latakia or aromatics in anything but that, and they suited it. My fingers are crossed I won't have to work too hard to clean the gourd that's coming.
