Sounds like you have some interesting pipes! Welcome to the forum!Finally joining this forum after many years of using it to inform my pipe and tobacco collecting! I have smoked pipes for a number of years after initially smoking cigars. In terms of tobacco, I was a diehard Dunhill Durbar fan until they stopped production. I have recently been starting to enjoy some of the Lakeland blends. I have a number of pipes (somewhere between 60 and 70 at the last count, many still awaiting restoration) but pride of place is a 1920s Charatan that was virtually unsmoked. I'm particularly fond of the early British pipe makers from around where I live in East London, but have a special place in my heart for Thorburn Clarke pipes. Anyway, thank you all for all your help over the years and I'm glad to finally be a member!
