How Many Pipes Do You Members Own?

[rigmedic1]

I am down to 114. Sold 3 recently, but gained 1. These things multiply like rabbits.

I have around 85 pipes and 55 or so are No American made artisan pipes. I have a fairly large rotation as I do smoke all of my artisan made pipes usually at least once a month. I own 3 meers but only one gets smoked once in a great while. I don't need anymore pipes but I look at hundreds of pipes per week looking for maybe one more?
Here is my not very organized set up.

I have had up to about 185 at a time. Right now, since I can no longer smoke I have 106, mostly Dunhills. I will offer many of these for sale when I am no longer too lazy to photograph and pack them.

I have a lot of pipes. Some are high end, some are not. I had a phase where I was into American pipes like Kaywoodie, Linkmans, Mastercrafts, Tom Howard, etc. I seem to drift towards Pete's, too. I have cut back on PAD. I tend to look at only getting Christmas pipes now.

A couple

Wow Their are some great Descriptions of a lot of fine Pipe collections.

I think what drew me back into Pipe smoking is the fact that its a fading Hobby - My GrandPop smoked one in the 1900's and my Dad smoked one in the 1950's I started smoking one in the 1970's - I and every other Pipe smoker on this forum are carrying on a tradition that is thousands of years old - and there is something truly cool to say about that.

I'm at around 300, give or take, but I smoke about 30 of them............. I'm 20% smoker, 80% collector........

 

[derhammer]

I've got 25 at the moment, but am looking forward to part with 7 of them as they are of a smaller bowl to my liking. I would like for sure to get more pipes but I think I'll wait until the ones I don't like get sold first.

Afraid to count, that will only confirm my wife’s fear that I’m a hoarder.

 

[jpmcwjr]

So, you're a collector, already! Besides, in my book, tobacco is the only thing hoarded.

 

[Chasing Embers]

After the past few weeks I did get down to 42. Now I need to convince my wife to quit buying me pipes and tobacco.

 

[kcghost]

I have 50-55.

I’ve only been into pipes for about 4 months but I already have 7 pipes.. I need to slow down on buying them. There are so so many that I still want, but I really don’t need them. I already have a couple that I don’t smoke nearly as often as the others. I think I’ll stop buying pipes for a while and focus more on enjoying different blends now that I have enough pipes to rotate between. I’m a sucker for a good deal, though. My most recent pipe was such a steal I would never have forgiven myself for not grabbing it. Current fleet is a Barling Garnet Grain estate from the 60’s, Ropp Vintage Stout Sandblasted, Briarworks C61, Peterson System Standard 313, Peterson Flame Grain 87, Peterson Rosslare Royal Irish 6 & 120.

Just 3 briars and 2 cobs - gets me by!

 

[ssjones]

Just checked my excel spreadsheet Pipe log. I haven't bought a pipe since December 2018, a new record for me!

 

[headhunter]

83 Briars

6 Cobs

 

[J.Henry845]

10yrs of Pipe Smoking:

9 cobs
2 Meerschaums
2 Falcon Stems with 3 bowls
24 briars

I have lately been reaching for a LaRocca Bent Dublin dedicated to Latakia blends as I have been smoking quite a bit of Nightcap and Billy Budd lately.
The LaRocca was one of the first pipes I purchased ($45) and has a seen a lot of smokes.
One of the "cheapest" pipes I have, but it is a top smoker. Revisiting some of my older/lesser smoked pipes helps keep the PAD away.

 

[alaskanpiper]

Too many. 50 or 60, but at least 15 are estates being restored for eventual sale or trade in......maybe, haha

 

[didimauw]

21. But I only smoke about 4.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Between 90 and 110, All briar except 6 meers and 3-4 cobs.
