Well guys, my DA is in the nursing home for A few days rehab, kind on lonesome around here, so this morning I read and looked at all 20 pages of this thread. My pad is raging, I did not see A pipe I didn't like and some of them were down right beautiful. You guys have lots of style and are all good shoppers, Happy smoking

My own contribution to the PAD thread is this lovely Acorn/pickaxe from German Maker Vauen. Its the Vauen Vesuv line, and while a little out of my usual price range, it was so unique and attractive (to me) that I had to get it. I took a bunch of pics, but this is the quick and easy way to get a pic up.
Here it is:

I haven't smoked it yet, but I seem to have a thing for German filtered pipes... more to come.

Boston, I see the appeal.

It is quite unique and a compelling.

The rustication is very interesting as is the concave rim.

It is reminiscent of an old style clay pipe, yet modern and sophisticated.

It also looks very comfortable in the hand.
I totally get the PAD on this one.

Excellent acquisition.

The only thing I don't get is the (seemingly) recent European desire/trend for filters in their pipes.

Even this year's World Slow Smoking Championship pipe has a filter in it.

What's the appeal there?

 

[juozapas]

Awesome...hands down...amazing PAD...

What do you guys think of this Peterson Shannon? Here or a new one here.

 

[unclearthur]

The guys at smokingpipes.com do a super job of rehabing the estates. It's a good buy!

Excellent collection Byzcath.

I'm truly jealous of that beautiful Churchwarden.

 

[bubbadreier]

Wallbright you and I must have the same tastes in pipes because I was looking at that peterson bulldog earlier today...
