My Grandfather's pipes

[Newfoundsmoker]

I inherited these pipes.

The one on the far right is an Imperial. Smokes real nice. Has a metal cylinder in the bottom of the bowl that seems to help keep the glow going.

The center right is an inner circle. One of my favorites. I like the short stem.

The one on the far left is imported algerian briar. No brand.

Center left not sure but smokes like a briar.

Thank you

Hmmm, they look well maintained and apparently smoke pretty well. I'm not so sure about the metal cylinder at the bottom of the one bowl, but pipe history is full of patented gimmicks to sell pipes back when it was a boom industry. I have to envy you your four pipes, having north of eighty. You have all you need, but you may eventually want another, etc.

Agreed. ?

....and stop smoking these

Why would you want to not smoke them? Enjoy them. Remember your grandfather every time you light one up. If you take care of them, they will still be great pipes to be passed on to your grandchild, and will mean more because there will be memory of you smoking them.

Nice pipes. I'd smoke 'em too. Enjoy them while you can. Life is too short. etc... etc....

I think the far right and the second from the left would be my "go to" pipes.
