[QUOTE="joshoowah, post: 188100, member: 1977"] During my first year of pipe smoking, I pretty much bought anything I could afford. After a little while, however, I realized that my tastes differed from what I had bought. My collection grew to 20 and I have since parted with all of those first pipes except 3 (2 Savinelli's and a Jesper). I hate vulcanite, which is why the majority of them had to go. My collection now exclusively consists of either Italians or Artisans (minus a few I have for sentimental sakes): 1 Ardor, 1 Ascorti, 13 Caminetto's, 3 Cristiano's, 2 Luciano's, 2 Radice's, 4 Savinelli's, and 2 Teipen's. So my tastes are generally for Italians; however, I have seen quite a few Ashton's that I love. So I have 28 in my "visible" collection and probably 14 others that I haven't seen or dug up in a while. I have probably owned somewhere around 50+ pipes over the years. My policy has been that "if I buy one, I sell one," but I bought 5 over break. I've parted with two and now I'll be parting with at least three more, which will most likely be Caminetto's. It's getting hard to hold myself accountable. And no offense, you guys don't help by posting pretty pipes that I want. [/QUOTE]
