Well, you’re the moderator, so you don’t really have to ask for my permission. Just go for it! And who knows, she might be worth a little bit more than a cheap pipe :)

I guess it’s like food: palates are so different. To me Perique feels like a flu coming up. It’s true, Cavendish is not up front - it whispers, to be a bit poetic. To me it’s like the smell of a stew you can’t make out, you just know you want more. I like that deep rustication. It looks really...

Thanks a lot, Stick! :) And no keed to apologize - I do not always pick up on everything myself. Yay! And another one for the old british art of pipe smoking! I just ordered a beautiful Peterson estate with a sterling silver ring. Look in the mail box every day and can hardly wait!

Another nice Grabow of yours there! Perhaps I should look out for estates on ebay that ship to Europe. Burley is not my thing (but yours, I think). Well there’s no harm done in working my way through my own favourites :)

I think you’re right! I love that it’s sturdy without being too big, and when you fill it, the smoke seems to last forever. I know about your love for pots. What kind of tobaccos do you prefer to smoke in them? I can’t quite make up my mind about what works best.

I'm usually kind of modest when it comes to the high-end department, but I supposed it had to happen sooner or later: Fell in love with a really nice hand cut that was offered on a danish estate website. I didn't know what Danbark was - to me it sounded like the name of a cheap drugstore pipe...

Thanks a lot everybody for contributing. Really nice to see so many good pipes, and also to get to know brands I wasn't aware of. Hope you will keep your pipes coming :) Here's another one of my recent buys. BBB pipes of the Cadogan era get at lot of bashing on the forums I've looked at. And...

Again you’re right. But it’s lost on me. I only buy cheap razors because I keep dropping them on the bathroom tiles. Never happens with the pipes, funny enough ?

Hehe, yep! The Everyman I started this thread with doesn’t even have by Comoy’s stamped on it and yet it smokes as perfectly as any they ever made. That’s integrity! I can’t count the number of music or kitchen devices I bought that gave up after max. 6 months.

I completely agree. But I think some of the difference in quality between then and now is also down to the increasing demand for briar that leads to exploitation of the stock that nature could provide. From (I think) the 80's and onwards even good manufacturers were accepting flaws that you...

Is that a Jeantet bottom left? Looks like the kind of Bent Bulldog I’d want in my new little collection. And the one next to it with a white stem has a beautiful grain. No reason in the world to part from that! i like :)

Wau, a really beautiful shape. Does it have a name stamped?

That's always the thing with bent pipes. I have an old BBB though, that comes apart so lightly even when hot, so it's just a little extra work that I don't mind. And the draught is perfect. To me a pipe with bad draught or clumsy lips is dumped, no matter the price. I own one that I love despite...

Seems like just the pipe for a Saturday night in town :lol:
