Hello! New member here. I'm looking forward to checking out the site further and entering some discussions here on my days off and learning/hearing your thoughts on various subjects re this wonderful and contemplative hobby.

A brief intro:

I'm from Ontario and a long time occasional pipe smoker - mostly in the fall and spring when hunting and fishing.

I love my Brighams, (all older made in Canada ones) and am looking to add to my collection but specifically the Sportsman models from the 70's. I have two unsmoked ones from that time.

I also love my Philip Trypis pipes. Philip was a master carver for Brigham and after retiring made his own. They look like Brighams but without the filter. Great smokers!



 

From Plymouth, England

I have 11 Trypis pipes ant they are great smokers

Welcome Beeman! Enjoy the forum.
Bees are fascinating little creatures.
Mike.

Welcome aboard.  :D
 
Welcome sir!
Don't let it get around you have pipes you don't smoke though, I'm still trying to live it down.  
 
Ya Cartaphilus I know. I will admit to about 1/3 of my collection being un-smoked. A couple I'm saving to start on a special occasion; one on my retirement and one, my Nording "Wild Turkey" hunting pipe will be started when next spring to enjoy when I bag the first spring Tom.

The  others...I don't know why I don't smoke 'em. I'll probably start them in retirement when I'll have more time to hike and canoe and hunt etc. That's when I enjoy my pipes the most - when I can sit and ponder and that a sip of the pipe then a sip of scotch. Altough I've pipe smoked for 20 years, at the moment I only light up a few times a month. If I'm on an excursion I'll light up daily and then nothing again for a month. So, when I do smoke I tend to turn to one of my four favorite pipes.

I'm just the opposite, I won't smoke a pipe when I'm in motion, I have to sit back and just enjoy it. I can't walk and chew gum either. The pipes I don't smoke are ones I'll never be able to afford again much less replace but, I enjoy them without smoking them just the same.  ;) 
 
Sorry, that's what I meant to convey. I'll go on a trip of some kind but I'll wait until I'm camped out enjoying the scenery or sitting in the backyard with a fire.

Walking and smoking a pipe doesn't work for me either.
