I have two pipes in mind for this post.
The first is a battered old kaywoodie billiard that belonged to my grandfather. I remember all of the times I would see him sitting in his easy chair, filling it with Prince Albert and lighting up with a box of blue diamond matches. In the process of getting his pipe going he would always lay the matchbox on top of the bowl to restrict air-flow and then get a good head of steam going. Inside, outside, he always had that pipe in his mouth. I only smoke it on Christmas which was about the only time that I saw my grandparents. I always smoke PA in it, which I never smoke otherwise. It is my most valued, beloved pipe.
The second is a birth year Dunhill given to me by my now ex-wife. It is a shell briar shape 127 chubby billiard and smokes great, but I never smoke it nowadays because of the memories it brings back. I don't know, at some point I will probably get rid of it.
What about you? Do you have any pipes that have special significance to you?
