I love the hell out of Kaywoodies. I own *counting on fingers* five or six. I rotate through them all WAY more than my other pipes; my FLN, my Molina, my Pete, my CAO...my Bjarne lol. I love all of my pipes. I love my Kaywoodies the most.
Unfortunately I lack the funds at present to actually get MORE Kaywoodies, it has been hard to stay off of eBay!
Never be ashamed of your Kaywoodies. In the early 1900s through the 30s, Kaywoodie pipes were high-grade. After that, they began a fall that culminated in the late 70s or 80s, after which they eventually came back made by S.M. Frank Co.
Sorry, I tend to go on lol.
