I've been at this hobby for about 6 years. I got started because one of my buddies smoked a pipe and I found it very relaxing. My wife at first was against the idea because she was afraid I would get addicted to tobacco and though I of course love tobacco, my real addiction comes from pipes. I took a couple of pics of my current collection. There are other pipes tucked here and there in the man cave, gifts from people that I like to look at but will never smoke or some that need heavy restoration and I hope to get to one day, but the pipes I have pictured are the pipes that I actually smoke. And though there are many and I have favorites, each of these get an occasional turn. There are a few new additions that are still in the process of restoration, the Dunhill Cavalier, and 3 of the long Canadians. Also amazing 33 of these pipes were gifts, most of which came from brothers on this forum.
This first pic is all of my pipes that have Vulcanite stems. I store my Vulcanites in socks in a drawer to keep them from oxidizing. Some of the socks don't really match the make of the pipe laying on it.
This second pic are my Acrylic stemmed pipes, my meers, a porcelain, and a couple clays.
