An amber-stemmed army mount with orific bit
And a push-pull tenon vulcanite-stemmed with slotted button.

That should be illegal!!!

Congrats to you!

Gorgeous!!!

Here’s another PBH this one is from 1904. I’m stealing a picture of your case, you know, for science.

Congrats to you!

Thank you.

Sadly I've been nursing a lengthy bout of laryngitis courtesy of my darling 4 year old germ factory (granddaughter)

These two will have to get in line with a few other pipes to be fired up once I'm fully recovered.
Can't wait to post on the WAYS thread again.

Dude, that's not even fair!

Amazing! My favorite shape! Any idea what the specs are? They look stubby, which is how I like em!

Hope you feel better soon. I'll enjoy seeing those posted in the smoking thread.

Beautiful! How many years would it take you to smoke through all your pipes now?

 

[Rpink53]

Wow! Amazing

That’s praise indeed coming from the High Priest of Barlings
I’m still a long way short of your 100+ Barlings.

They are 4 1/2 inches, so yes, quite stubby
The bowls are size 3

Outstanding! And alligator- or croc?- no less.

Great pipes.
With presentation befitting the product.

At the average rate of 2 bowls on a Saturday and Sunday, with time off when I'm unwell, I often forget that I have certain pipes.

The pleasure is palpable when I "rediscover" them

At the average rate of 2 bowls on a Saturday and Sunday, ...

Jim the Inkman smokes two bowls before breakfast every day of the year, you realize.

Then two more before lunch, three more before dinner, and three or four before bed.

You have some catching up to do, I'm afraid.

 

[mikethompson]

Very nice new additions to your collection! The case really compliments the pipes as well.

I apologise for my abysmal efforts and for dragging down the Forums average for number of bowls smoked daily.

You’re a mite low. I think Jim’s daily average is about 17 or more.

Thats pretty incredible. Congratulations on the additions.
