They’re draws from my 200 count Toms Christiano pipe cabinet. I recycled two drawers for the pictures.

I see the long shank bamboo pipes more often than pipes like this piece.

While searching for a specific item I "require" I happened upon this on the Tabaccheria Corti website. Castello now has their 2 pipe case, with tobacco pouch in blue leather. I must stop visiting Luca's site!!!!!

Dave—you’re slacking off! Just one pipe per cubby and even an empty one on that last tray? You’ve gotta buy more pipes and double those up!

In all seriousness, you’re a man after my own heart. I love this kind of logical obsession. It’s how I approach most aspects of collecting, not just pipes:

Ok..Im really not doing a research project but my background in psych has me interested. I dont think most of us will argue that we are bit by the hoarding bug at time. A lot of us have way more pipes and far more tobacco than can ever be somked and we still gather more. I dont think pipe...

Thanks Jeff! Way to rub it in!
I’m efforting it but that blank spot hurt to the core.

This is my latest collection and am waiting for more big 65’s including a couple of big Epoca’s to shake loose. The owners know it but are not ready to part with them yet. Actually I have one I could filled it out the tray with that’s been on the sell pile that I just don’t like.
