For all of you new members that have joined in the last few months.
This is a sadly neglected string of posts.
I'm showing you mine, show me yours:
Pstlpkr's Pipes.

wow...great collections...I'm ashamed I only have 1 pipe so far. I'll go hide in the closet now.
Who knows, maybe I'll accrue a few more pipes and then post something in this thread. Like Hobie, I've got so few pipes that it seems pointless. You can see one of my two pipes in my avatar picture!
Actually, I've talked to my wife about helping me update that picture, this time with my other pipe.

Today has been a good day for Pipe acquisitions. I've always had a passion for
these old Petes. This is an Estate African Block Facet Peterson, with the silver
band and P-Lip. These have been selling for much more than I was able to get away
with, so I'm quite pleased. I should have it in a couple of days...

Thanks guys. Both of these Pipes have taken some time to find and acquire. New Meerschaum Pipe sales have been lacking this quarter, for reasons that are beyond my understanding. In the case of Karahan's Nude of the Nile, it worked in my favor. I watched it get re-listed for 3-4 months and when it went up for sale on a minimum that was 50% of the original in a 24 hour auction, I took the opportunity. As for the Pete, I've been on the hunt for a year and a half, but the prices went beyond value, as the African Block Meerschaums are no longer being made. This one stayed within reason, again possibly related to slow market conditions...? Sometimes you get lucky. The Estate marketplace is certainly more volatile and always a higher risk than the new Pipe sector.
Thanks. As I know little of Peterson Pipes, it seemed a good idea to ask Chuck - our resident Peterson guy, about this Pipe. He thinks that it may be a 312. A faceted meer in the 312 shape is somewhat unusual My thought was that the bit might have been a replacement on this Pipe, but Chuck believes that it is likely appropriate to this Pete. It's good to have access to people that know a thing or two. The African Block Pipes can be good smokers, with a bit of care. I keep the cake trimmed down to the Block and clean them with Everclear and a shank brush with plenty of Pipe cleaners after a smoke. I also wax them. They are not as efficient as Turkish Block at heat dissipation and absorbency, but by keeping the Block surface available to do it's work, they are a good smoke. They absorb the Beeswax and color, which is an indication of their ability to absorb. Yes, they can be heavy - especially the calcined Block.
There's an amusing aside to the Pete. When I first took it apart to clean it up,
the previous owner had put a Medico paper filter in the Pipe. This is a system Pete, with reservoir and a large lumen to the shank end of the bit. The Pipe had been smoked very little and my guess the reason was that the filter made for a tight draw. I can just imagine some guy turning blue trying to get a puff or two thru this Pipe with a filter in it. This is the first pre-smoked Estate Pipe that I've had to break in.

I just tried twice to post pics of my pipes from my pipesmagazine album. The post did not show up the first time so I posted it again. I have a feeling that photo posts need to be viewed by a moderator before being added to the site? If so the please disregard the second post. If not then WTF am I doing wrong?
Cheers.
