Having G.L. Pease Westminster (2009) in a rusticated Savinelli Long John Dublin 915, with a smooth rim and oval shank.
We finally found an electrician to complete the work started by the electrician who went out of business during the pandemic. I’ve been organizing some of my American, French, and Italian pipes that aren’t on racks, so that I can move stacks of boxes away from the living room walls so the new electrician can have enough room to work on the outlets the week after next.

Gorgeous! From the pipe people in TN to their friends in NC. Very cool, and a great looking pipe!
CD Habana Daydream in Pete Killarney 03.
Some men dream of some supermodel naked in their bed. Others, of owning all those awesome pipes! You have no excuse now, with this re-organizing, to not give us at least a rough number on how many you have here. You can't just be a tease, after showing us this pipe-p*rn. Inquiring minds wanna know!
On the menu for this evening's commute home, and to kick off the weekend, was a delectable bowl of Bob's Chocolate Flake loaded in my Canadian Club.
Well, I'd lead with, "Have you ever seen that tv ad about the couple who love their new home, except for their "aunt" problem? And one of the aunts is going through the fridge and pointing out everything that's expired? I'm sure they wanted to shoot her for sticking her nose in, but anyhoo, if it doesn't mold, tobacco doesn't expire in the traditional sense...."
Overly crumbled crumble kake, SPC Plum Pudding BBA, in a 2021 ebony Peterson Sherlock Series Baker Street bulldog, straight, with P-lip stem.
Such a stunning collection
Who are some of your favorite pipe makers?
Exclusive in a J07, heading out to save the citizens from accident debris.
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69.
Yeah, the international bent stem is my least favorite and hardly gets used. I’m going to try it with a filter this weekend, though, and see if it will grow on me.Now I know! Looks great - yeah, I can see why it has a stiffer draw. I like smoking my standard bent (in brown) the best. Thanks for posting this!
I have to get one of those brown bent stems. They look sharp.
I agree @anthonyrosenthal74….good workhorses and you can buy a replacement stem when it needs one .
Early Morning pipe of Amphora Burleys in an Ashton XX Pebble grain short medium size billiard anno 2019
Thank you, I’m blessed to have a brick and mortar in my neck of the woods.
This Saturday morning, with coffee: Stanwell Melange in the Falcon (many Falcons lately in the WAYS topic)...
Enjoy your weekend good people!

You can explain to them that pipe tobacco is like wine. Sometimes it ages well, sometimes it doesn’t—sometimes it tastes like vinegar, but that’s not always a bad thing.
Taking count removes plausible deniability. There are more of these sunglasses storage cases, several multi-tiered racks, leather stands, small stands, etc. Maybe once my new record cabinets are in place (no idea when that will be), I’ll set everything up on top of them and take some pics. I have more than some people and less than others.
Such a stunning collection
Thank you, that’s very kind.
If we’re talking about artisan pipes, there are so many, but I don’t have examples from all of the ones I admire. I love a lot of Todd Johnson’s more inventive, less traditional pipes, and find a lot of them kinda ugly—for now, I only have one (I’d like a Phalanx Q one at some point if budget ever allows); the Todd Bannard BST pipes I have smoke wonderfully; I’d like to add more Michael Parks pipes, but at present, I only have one—the list goes on.
As far as branded marques, I love and focus on Savinelli in-depth—their history and much of their aesthetic appeals to me (that said, I think a lot of their Autograph pipes are very clunky and ugly—I lean towards the ones with more graceful curves); I collect Brebbia partially because of their history that is intertwined with Savinelli, but also because they make great pipes; I love 19th Century Ropp pipes from Bussang, France, but I also enjoy their 20th Century offerings, along with the newer pipes that are Ropp pipes in name only and made with vintage mid-20th Century stummels from the Chapuis-Comoy Saint-Claude factory (they’re not really Ropps, but kinda are, sorta like the new Barling pipes being made today); I love leather-wrapped Longchamp pipes and try to grab pipes by the parent company, F.B.C. when I come across them; I love the little Brulor pipes from the 1950s that Bruno Nuttens sells; I collect Colossus Pipe Factory pipes and by extension KB&B and Kaywoodie; Peterson, Comoy’s, GBD, Dunhill all have a presence; I find Oguz Simsek’s likenesses on his figural pipes hit or miss, but when they’re on, they’re great. Some of my favourite pipes are no name ones. In a nutshell, I collect what strikes my fancy. I enjoy the weird and unusual and the traditional. My taste in pipes is catholic (small C).
