That's one thing I like about pipes, knowing about all the areas they come from.

While I can't accurately guess the numbers I have from each respective country, my collection is made up with pipes from:
- Canada

- England

- United States of America

- France

- Turkey

- Russia

- Ireland

- Italy

- Denmark

- Germany

- Holland

- Israel

That's not too shabby...

Didi, I have many 'no name' pipes and that niggles me :roll:

Dot- what make (or makes) do you have from Mexico?

@aldecaker
My Mexican pipe is a museum quality, authorized reproduction of a pre-Hispanic clay pipe.
I did have a Norma, the only Mexican Briars I'm aware of, which are widely available throughout Mexico. They are sold through Sanborns a chain of small department stores. Quality and price are reasonable.

 

[aldecaker]

I was actually wondering about the Normas, since they seem to be the Mexican equivalent of a Grabow-type drugstore pipe. I have been considering asking my sister-in-law for a bring back next time she goes home to visit in Mexico.

And here I always thought Quebec was a province within Canada, but I do remember my friends from Quebec stating, "I'm not Canadien, I'm Quebecois!"
Same goes for Texas, are they about to separate from the good ol' USA?

I was being a little tongue-in-cheek about a _very_small_ vocal minority of Quebecers outspoken desire to leave Canada, and the jokes about the Republic of Texas.

The Normas run at about $30 USD on average.
Here's a link to their website:

Pipes from China?! And Mexico?!
First thing, tomorrow, I'm building a wall around my collection. Believe me.

@mawnansmiff, Shalom Pipes, that's the one I couldn't remember, some look really interesting but like I said before I passed cause I was unfamiliar with the make. I do have some no name pipes I got cheap and they really called to me, most turn out to be good smokers

 

[dottiewarden]

@pruss
I'm from Ontario, but I met a lot of Quebecois when I was living in BC. I'm currently in Mexico but it seems I'll be going back home to TO any day now.

 

[aldecaker]

Cool. Thanks for the link. I think it would be worth the $30 just to see what kind of surprise she brings back.

 

[philobeddoe]

My rotation contains pipes from: U.S.A., Denmark, Italy, England, Ireland, a meerschaum from Turkey and a Wojek Pastuch who I believe is from Poland.

Just make sure you get them to pay for it!

 

[aldecaker]

@Pagan- the Czech pipes I have are no-names from my local B&M. One is meh, but three out of the four are really, really good smokers, especially for the price.

 

[mawnansmiff]

Pagan, the Shalom pipe I linked to is actually in my 'for sale' box so PM me if you might be interested in owning an unusual & rare pipe but do check out the link first.
Many of my no name pipes are great smokers. Some are merely stamped 'Made In London, England' but others have nothing at all.
Regards,
Jay.

@aldecaker
My Czech pipe is a Stanislav. It's one of my prize possessions, and smokes like a dream too!

 

[uberam3rica]

I have Italian, British, Turkish, amd American.I might have had some from other countries at some point.

Oops, missed one, Greece; I think Amadeus pipes are Greek. What else have I missed. Quite a crowd on the pipe racks.
