Show Us Pipes Gifted to You

[SourShank]

Christmas came early in the SourShank household. My wife couldn't wait anymore and made me open my presents. I've been eyeing Ropp pipes for a while but would've never thought of a bulldog. Immediately loaded it with some Presbyterian. It's a smoker alright, I think I will be buying more Ropps soon.

I was surprised to open the IM Corona to see it was the same exact model I had years ago but unfortunately it grew legs and got lost. I'll be sure to be more accountable with this one.

My first gift of a pipe was a great surprise - a Comoy’s “patina” large Canadian from Secret Santa @captainsousie. It’s just right!

Two years ago my grandson (5 yrs old then) gifted this Mr. Brog Vincent Van Gogh to me for my birthday. My daughter and son-in-law let him pick it out and this is what he chose.

This is a pipe I will never get rid of. I keep in a drawer with other pipes I don't smoke often, it always makes me smile when I see.

My first ever estate pipe was bought for me by my wife on an Argentine selling site. It's a City de Luxe which turned out to unsmoked. Love it!! ?

So cool

 

[hauntedmyst]

I'm sure there are more but these two are my favorite pipes given to me.

This one is from my little one. Bertram Safferling Smooth Egg

​

This one was given to me 30 years ago by a guy at the pipe shop. It's a Chacom Grand Cru with a triangular shank.

My wife gifted this pipe for my birthday
And my mother gifted me this one

My friend Craig @PipeLoverInPA gifted me this Radice. Beautiful pipe that does fantastic, I dedicated it to VaOr blends as it has a slightly larger bowl than most of it pipes and let's the complexity shine through.
