You can post the PhotoBucket pix directly in your post by copying and pasting the IMAGE URL directly to the Forum Reply Box:
PhotoBucket allows resizing, and I think 384 or 512 pixels wide is about right most of the time.

Wow! What a bunch of fast responses. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
A couple of follow up points.
Posting Pics: I posted at tip about that earlier today that you might find useful.
SWR: I buy Raleigh by the case because I get it wholesale that way... and I never run out.
Dust: I know, a lot of the stuff looks dusty. We don't keep our house like that, but I smoke so much in the smoking room that keeping it dust free would be a full time job. I've just learned to live with it and only dust occesionally... Even I can stand only so much.
Decorations: That's just part of it. As you may have guessed I'm a big Sherlock fan. I didn't take pics of everything in the room and will add more later.
My collection: As I stated elsewhere in the forum, I don't think I have to own them all. As someone in the business for quite a few years I guess I've actually owned tens of thousands of pipes. I've had quite a few go through my personal collection but now I've settled on what I like best and seldom am tempted to buy one. I like the carved or sandblast finish because it is cooler in the hand, doesn't require polishing, and I think they look cool. Each to his own.

Very nice collection! If you don't mind me asking though where you get the SWR and how much it is per a case?
Wow. Nice smoking room with nice decorations and beautiful pipes. It must feel great just to sit in there.
Thanks again for the comments.
"If you don't mind me asking though where you get the SWR and how much it is per a case?" I would suggest you try: jrcigar.com Usually about as good a price as you'll find. As to my source, remember I was in the biz for years and my old store is still there.
"I spotted at least one in there that I'm coveting now." Only one? Darn, I was hoping to do better than that!
"And I love some of those pipes you made yourself." Nice of you to say so. I haven't made any in quite a few years. I made a pretty decent pipe... but I've seen better. You might have noticed some of my own are unsmoked. I have enough to smoke so I just keep them... to gather more dust.
