Very nice collection so far! 2nd to last reminds me of a pipe I restored not long ago.

Indeed, quite a nice start to your collection. Hope they smoke as well as they look.

How long have you been at it? Nice start for sure

Hey that looks like a comfortable set to me .

Nice collection. The Calabash is my fav. Is it a good smoker? If so, might be one in my (not immediate) future.

I picked up the hobby last October. The top one is my first purchase and was a basket at the local B&M. In December, they held a slow smoke contest and for $20 entry, I received the 3rd pipe to smoke for the contest. The Calabash is what I selected for taking 3rd place and it is a real nice smoker. The last is the Zobo from ebay at $14.99 shipped. I've been lucky so far and not come across a bad smoker

Very nice collection. All look like good smokers.

Nice collection that, i like the 3rd one the best. Interesting finish on it.

Keep posting pics if you get any others :puffpipe:

Thanks for sharing the pics and your collection!

Super.. and to place in a slow smoke contest with only two months of pipe smoking experience is fantastic!

Love that Brigham Calabash, I might just have to go bug my local B&M to place an order for me - does it take the rock-maple filter?

 

[groundsar]

Bowhatchie- Thanks Noone was more surprised than me I think. I was figuring I'd go out pretty quick and I would have been really happy with the contest pipe. I figured I was coming out ahead with that alone. I managed 45:15 and first place went 61 plus
Schmitzbitz- The Calabash does not have a filter in it. It's a Butz Choquin so maybe that is a bit different than the one you are thinking of??
