Hey Guys,

With the recent addition of the Rad Davis on the very end, I finally got a 7-Day Set of Pokers. I would have had one long ago, but I kept passing them along to friends. I think these are all keepers though.

I don't know what it is, but I've always been especially drawn to the shape.
From left to right (in order of acquisition) we have

-A Radice Rind G Twin-Bore--still my largest pipe. (2008)

-A Radice Silk Cut Poker w/ a really cool Rainbow wood insert on the stem that I haven't seen anywhere else. (2009)

-A Brakner Antique 1212 Cherrywood (2011)

-A Charatan Supreme Made by Hand (2011)

-The first of the Heeschen Twins: an "A" Grade smooth (2011)

-Heeschen Twin # 2--an "A" Sandblasted (2011)

-My commissioned Blasted Tanshell Rad Davis danish Poker w/ Green Cumberland Stem (March 2012)
If I lost all my other pipes, but still had these, I think I would be just fine.

The Bag is a Leather 7-Pipe Bag from Jobey of all places. It's several years old, but going strong.
Thanks for the compliments, guys. What I noticed when I have them all together is that the set is actually pretty representative of my collection:
I favor Danish pipes and sandblasts, but also like some good Italians and classic British shapes. I'm also getting more and more into individual makers as time goes on.
