Great pipes - & I love your automobile "pipe stand." But what's a "Linksman?" That's a new one on me.

 

[javajunkie]

Thanks, there was a real sense of a journey along with those pictures.
Also, love that your car has a built in cob holder!

Thanks Gents,

." But what's a "Linksman?"

This i am not sure of it was a nice smoker but didnt last more than 10mins and that was pushing it. however it was incredibly light and was one of my favorite clenchers at the time very fun to smoke. a member on here contacted me telling me of the pipe and saying that he was really interested in it and offered to buy it. So i sold it knowing it was going to someone who would really love it.

Nice looking pipes you have. Sounds like you are having a blast.

I decided i would try and avoid buying pipes of the same makers or brands just so i can expand my experiences and also in turn save my money because if it weren't for that one rule i had i would own a lot more Sav's and Caminetto's solely based on my experiences with the two i have now.
I also try to buy similar looking pipes from different makes notice how the top three that i currently own are all rusticated straight stem and have a smooth rim. This i blame on my OCD but i like it and it also limits how fast i purchase pipes, being this look is not hard but more difficult to find. Keeps my wallet and wife happy lol.

The pictures are excellent. I always enjoy checking out other members' pipe collections.
I love Sav's and Barling's. I've tried expanding into other brands, but I always seem stuck on ordering new Sav's and trying to find Barling estates.

Oh believe me I know how hard it is to resist the temptation of buying another sav they are wonderful pipes but to ventures into the unknown can often pay off in unexpected ways

 

[ciderguy]

That is a nice piperest in your car!

 

[smokeybear]

Well that was a 2001 Honda Civic LX-G Sedan i loved that car but insurance was getting a little crazy on it, something about there being lots of them on the road and the probability of an accident is increased so they cost more. i swear we have the most expensive car insurance in the world here.

I miss her Soooo much :crying:

Beautiful collection, both past and present! Loved the Sav, that stem was very rich looking.

 

[jah76]

Nice collection. Thanks for sharing.
I haven't picked up a bad Savinelli yet. I'm sure there out there, but all of mine have been great pipes.

 

[fnord]

4dot, Linkman was the company that brought out Dr. Grabow back in 1931-2. They had been around since the 1890's,also known as MLC or M.Linkman Co. They made many different brands/lines of pipes.
