Hello from Connecticut

[Ksigel]

I had been a cigar and off/on pipe smoker for about 20 years. About 3 years ago, I dug out a Peterson Watson that I bought in Ireland some years back. About 3 years ago I was smoking some Barclay Rex Maravilla sitting enjoying a warm summer's evening. I got hooked. The cigars and accessories have been to distributed to my friends who haven't seen the light. That one Watson has grown into a collection of about 50 with a huge emphasis on Petersons. Studying pipe history, making pipe racks in the shop, and smoking while working on my philosophy. Loving it all!

Here is a 6 pipe version just before oiling. Working on my “2 week rack”. It’s a 2 tiered version with 7 spaces per tier. Will post that when done, and filled with Petersons

I like the offset design. Great way to display pipes; allows more of the shape and accent of the pipes to show verses a frontal design. Are you using this feature in your “two week” pipe rack?
Based on you 50 pipe current collection, do you have other pipe racks already employed?
Thanks for sharing!

BTW I love meerschaum lined briar pipes. What model is the pipe in the pic of the 6 place rack? Newer or estate?

Thanks. My 14 pipe one is just 2 tiers of the one in photo. I have a store bought one for 6 that, to your point, doesn’t really let you see the pipes. I have some others in the “thinking stages”. Ate there any you have found that may offer me some ideas.

It is an Estate pipe. It says BC which I think is Butz Choquin. If that’s right it looks like a model 1775 as much as I can figure. Looks like recent model.
