So what kind of pipe guy are you?

When I first started smoking, I smoked the Savenili and Stanwell Churchwardens. The main drawback was that I could not do much while smoking them. I went to the shorter versions and ended up with a number of Ser Jacopos. I like the bent design and the way these pipes look.

Ser Jacs are excellent pipes.

Been smokin a pipe for 30yrs now and have nice collection IMHO. I focused on Castellos at the first and am now down to about 30 or so, mostly smooths from their collection series, I do have a few Sea Rocks and O/A's with a few Epochas and of course their Pearl Nera. In the past few years I've turned my attention to many other carvers, Danish, Swedish, NAC, and of course the Italian, always liked them. Since I have enough pipes to choose from I plan on buying just one pipe a year now to add to the fold.

Good Plan Maggid!
