Hello everyone, glad to finally join in with you all! I’ve smoked a pipe for about 11 years now and have a humble collection of pipes. I enjoy VA’s, VaPer’s, bold burlys, and English blends. I have only bought 3 new pipes, the rest have been estate pipes. I consider myself a very amateurish restorer of pipes but I enjoy the process. I like to think about being a part of the history of a pipe. I think I have about 60 something pipes, I don’t know because I keep giving them away trying to entice others into this beautiful endeavor.
