I\'ll show you mine, if you show me yours...

I have been smoking pipes since 1972. I'm kinda proud of my battered old pipes.

I used Photobucket to put together a little slide show.

I'd love to see everyone's pipe collection.

C'mon don't be shy.

Pstlpkr's pipes

I hope the link posts ok.

Thank you Cortezattic, and you too ghost45,

I thought I looked everywhere for the members' collections.

I'm putting that link in my favorites.

Cortez, I smoke mine only occasionally, just for fun.

The bowls are huge, but they seem to burn a little fast.

So, the time for the smoke is about the same as a good thumb size bowl.

Watch out for the ash at the end,it'll come right through.

I have heard that some will put a little wine in the gourd to prevent that, I never have.

Thanks again guys

pstlpkr Those pipes are beautiful. Nice slideshow. I'm just starting to build my collection and seeing your collection is an inspiration !!!

That's a whole lot of gorgeous pipes pstlpkr! It's like having a harem of pipes!

 

[pstlpkr]

Thanks everybody,

I enjoyed photographing my pipes.

I organized the slide show a little better and added some photos of my church wardens.

I look forward to seeing more collections.

I like your Wilmer Churchwarden the best

 

[cortezattic]

I appreciate the special effort, pstlpkr. (And jealous as hell!

 

[pstlpkr]

Thanks guys,

I too like the Wilmer the best.

Smokes great, its a little careworn, but most of my pipes are over 10 years old.

The Wilmer is nigh on 30.

Awesome pipes Pstlpkr!
I still need to take pictures of most of my pipes, but it's hard to find the time to do it.

 

[pstlpkr]

Thank you Bob,

It only took a couple of hours to photograph.

But, it took another three or four to get the color of the pipes right, about an hour

to upload the pics, and one more to title and comment.

Just used my old (much loved) poker table for the back ground.

It was a lot of fun.

I figured the flute is a pipe with holes drilled in it, so it qualified.

 

[cortezattic]

Following guys have been known to make a flute really "smoke":

Eric Dolphy, Herbie Mann, Roland Kirk, Jerry Richardson, Hubert Laws, James Moody, Dave "Fathead" Newman, Frank Wess, Jim Newsom, Yusef Lateef, to name but a few.

Cortezattic,

A couple of my favorites are Sir James Galway, and Ian Anderson (real pipe smoker).
