Your Earliest Pipe and Your Latest

[mikethompson]

By order of your acquisition, not age.

I still have my first pipe, this hardwood MM given to me by my wife (then girlfriend) in 2002 or thereabouts:



My newest arrival:

Green colour duke awaiting the 'treatment':

Ha I can't remember which pipe I bought most recently. It is one of three...

 

[sablebrush52]

I still sort of have one of the first pipes I bought, a sultan's head meer that I picked up in 1972. It's missing its stem.

The latest pipe is my second Barling Magnum, a huge bent billiard hallmarked to 1910, Bowl height is slightly over 3" and width is slightly under 3". Length is close to 10".

Thank you. It's off to George Dibos for some TLC. Once I get it back I'll photograph it and post an image.

Earliest is a Dr. Grabow bent Big Pipe and the latest is a Peterson 106 Irish Army Mount.

I must have dementia or some other memory issue.

I have pipes. Isn’t that good enough

I know my first that I still have a Dr. Grabow. The newest is the issue. I don’t know what order the mailman put pipes in the plastic bin.

The top pipe is my first pipe I bought in 1982, an unnamed basket pipe made in Italy. The bottom pipe is the last pipe I bought about a week ago. It's a NAMED basket pipe made in England, so you can see I'm making some progress buying better quality pipes. ?

Big Ben Dromedary from 1992.



Latest

Savinelli Erica Fiamma from last week.

First pipe was a UK basket pipe that I gifted to a friend who wanted to give it a try. Decent smoker but nothing special.

latest pipe was a Comoy’s from a famous online auction site.
although hoping another will be added soon. Serious PAD issues in early 2021.

 

[verporchting]

First pipe bought at an Edward’s Pipe and Cigar shop back in the 80’s.


Latest is a Preben Holm that should arrive this week.

I purchased my very first pipe and tobacco around 1979/1980. I had no clue what I was doing and didn't smoke it very long. I don't remember the brand.

My first pipe acquisition recently, March 2018, was this basket pipe marked "ITALY" from Tinder Box.



My latest acquisition is this un-smoked Brebbia I purchased from Steve Fallon (Pipestud) I believe in Feb. 2020.

Great thread starter. My first pipe was purchased back in 1971. It was a Stanwell second called a Danish Sovereign that I purchased for $20. I thought I was crazy laying out that kind of dough for a pipe!

My latest acquisition was a J. Alan just a couple of months ago from smokingpipes.com. I think I upgraded a little over the last 50 years. But, my bank account downgraded. )-:

$20 in 1971 is around $130 now.

Some of you are showing real growth in what you are buying now. I'm still cheap though.

First one I got is this Peterson. I think I got it on Etsy of all places. It is super old, about 5'' long

Most recent is this Castello, and I had to go back through the emails to make sure.

I still have my first pipe, a Barontini Gran Duc I bought used in 1994:



My latest arrived a couple of weeks ago, a Castello Collection KK 4-Square:

Seems a lot of us still have our first pipes.

I wonder if we knew then that we would have bouts of PAD stemming from that first one.
