Thank you! The cabinet is an old secretary desk that a 60 slot rack by Ken Lamb happened to fit perfectly into.
Inspiration was this old photo of Carlo Scotti:
Didn’t mean to derail the thread, here’s my penance:

Just off the top, with no time for photos:
Bulldogs: Two Stanwell 32's, a smooth and a silke brune; one Johs with a big bowl; a Sav Opera 673; a Pete Around the World Series, Ireland pipe; and a Dr. Grabow Royalton
Rhodesians: A Pete Killarney P-lip, and a Kemberling (Austrian) hand made
I find the shapes pleasingly traditional ones with plenty of room for the unique, original, and subtle variations too. Probably neither is among my top three shapes, but favored nonetheless.

Thank you, Mike!
This pipe includes a personal story for me.
I saw it on baywatch last year and purchased it as reminiscence of its maker whoes little workshop I found accidentily when driving with my wife through a small town in southern Denmark during our vaccation.(1986-7 ?) Svend Lund was a very nice older man, he friendly showed us his 'one-room-factory' and of course his pipes he kept in drawers behind his workbench. I bought one, which I could afford though his prices were pretty low for handmade pipes but our hollydays had just begun and we needed to save some money for rest of these days. The pipe turned out to be a good smoker, I loved it, smoked it very often but unfortunately lost it some years ago. I don't no when and where..Svend Lund has died in the meatime. And now at least one of my pipes reminds me of him and the wonderfull vacation we had that year when we spotted him.

tdickson, your Castello 'dogs are spectacular spectacular!
A very nice story to accompany that pipe. I love it when we can associate something nice with a pipe, it makes the pipe that much more valuable to us. I have a Christmas 2015 Peterson for just such a reason for example.
Here's one of mine, an LHS shape #52. Smoking some big 'n burley. Has a push in stem with a stinger.
My Medico Gold Crest not real sure about the age but I like it
I have one with one on the way.
A commemorative Savinelli 673 KS Roma for John Harden's passing.
I told myself I wasn't even going to look at SP and ended up with an Adam Davidson that had just popped as fresh on the Estate page right before the sale ended, C O U L D N O T help myself. ?

Awfully nice pipes and set up for a newbie, or anyone!

That Dunhill is quite a beaut - I need something with a Cumberland stem.
I love that 2019 POTY - Nice foursome there.
