So with family members supporting PAD and a bit of extra cash from the new year paycheck I went a bit nuts and found some great bargains.
First, Christmas from my wife. She bought me a couple estates plus a lighter, an Edwards (not pictured), a Thompson African meer, and a Nimrod lighter.
Then my Mother-in-law gave me an Ascorti.
Finally I got about $150 extra on my new years check and got the go-ahead to spend it on pipes. I bought a 1924-29 Kaywoodie Drinkless, a Hand Made in Denmark IIs, a 4-dot Brigham, A Tim West paneled cavalier-type pipe, a pre-kaywoodie KB&B and a Gresham Giant.
Here are pics of the ones I have, and some I have coming, except for the Edwards.
Thompson
Ascorti
Kaywoodie. This thing is tiny, needs work, and has had some bad stem work done but I really like it.
