Ok let try this again... Here is a pipe that I really enjoy.

"United States"
As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake.Posted 1 year ago # -
Nice pipe JC.
From Photo Bucket, you can right click on the picture and copy the image location. From there, you click the image button in the reply box and paste the image.
What's easiest is from the album page on Photo Bucket, when you hover the mouse over the picture and the little fields appear, just copy from where it says "IMG Code".

Thanks for the Altinok link Dudley. Pricey stock, but very nice.

Nice pipes JC!
P.S. When trying to post pics, be sure it has
at the end of the link.
Example: [img]link from photobucket[*/img]. (DO NOT put the * symbol. I just had to do that so the code would show up)Posted 1 year ago # -
Ok before anyone yells at me I was correcting the image but I took too long and the system would allow me complete the edit. Sorry for the huge pic.

No problem, just be sure to re-size the pics when you are uploading them to Photobucket.
Pick what size you want them and click upload and photobucket will automatically re-size them for you.P.S. You should be able to go into your Photobucket Album and re-size them even after you upload them.

Awesome PIPES!
Posted 1 year ago # -
Hello again. Here's another Pipe that I just acquired. I should have it in my hands by next week.
As for favorites, all of the Pipes get smoked. I'm fortunate to be able to choose a Pipe to smoke depending upon personal preference at the moment and they all smoke well.
As for getting a Pipe of Shakespeare, Sinan offers this service in his Portrait Pipes and might also have ideas about a less expensive way to go for a custom Figural...
Another possible source would be Deniz Ural, as he's very aware of the current situation and skills of many Carvers...
http://bestmeerschaums.homestead.com/coverpage.html Another consideration would be to keep watch on e-bay, as these Shakespeare Figurals show up, for time to time. A big part of the quest is the Thrill of the Hunt, which can take you to many countries. It's fun and you get to learn a number of things along the way.Fred

Nice collection Lawrence!

I appreciate the tips Bob.
As you can see I need to utilize your cleaning video.Posted 1 year ago # -
That's a beautiful pipe Fred!

Fred, thanks for the tips on hunting for a Shakespeare figural. You're right about the thrill of the hunt. Nabbing that long sought pipe feels great, but there is something anticlimactic about having it in your hands; and again, some time after you start smoking it. I think that's part of the PAD. After a while you seek another conquest, so to speak. (I don't think I'll get into drawing parallels to our attitudes toward women, even though the tobacco chamber could evoke some Freudian associations.)

I want another pipe because there are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY!!!
Posted 1 year ago # -
Thanks Bob. This Pipe came today. I've done my pre-smoke cleaning ritual, but
I've not fired it up yet. It will get smoked soon.Yes, the quest is enjoyable to me as well. It also serves to give the Pipe a sense
of legacy, as each Pipe evokes it's own set of memories. These are low tech, high
visibility functional art and smoking them is a learning experience, as they all are
to be considered individually. Some are as reliable as my old Harley, while others
can be as temperamental as a Drag Bike. So the acquisition is but a part of the whole
deal..., while the rewards continue thru the years. As I evolve, so do these Pipes.Posted 1 year ago # -
Well, my new pipe (Mark Tinsky Danish Brandy "Sunrise") arrived today, and im very pleased with it, it's a gorgeous little pipe, as you can see:
and in good company.
I'm absolutely amazed of how fast it got here, in six days or so, maybe i got lucky in customs..
Props to Mr. Cooper.Posted 1 year ago # -

Vitorteixeira, that is an amazing pipe... How big is it!
Posted 1 year ago # -
Hi Phil and thanks!
According to Mr. Cooper :
(http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/coopersark/)"The length is about 5.25". The bowl height is about 1.50". The tobacco chamber is about 0.75" in diameter and rapidly tapers down the bowl's 1.25" inner depth. The capacity is about that of a Group 4 size Dunhill pipe. This gorgeous hand crafted American briar weighs 47 grams"
Haven't smoked it yet, but i can say it's a perfect match for the palm of my hand
(I'm intrigued...how can you post that much in 2 or three months? Wow!)

Hi Vitor,
Here in the South, Phil could be called a "Ratchet Jaw".
But, he's just a good typist.

Well if you look at all 3/4 of my posts, they are BS... Second, when you have as much time on my hands...
And as Pstlpkr aka: Lawrence said... I guess that is my "hint" to be seen and not heard per the "Moderator"...

I recently wrote here, and in the [/u]North American Society of Pipe Collectors Newsletter about my collection of carved briar heads, fondly referred to by me as the "Seven Dwarfs" (although there are eight of them). I was asked to post the pictures. I inherited four of these pipes from one of my professors. He collected them in the 1950s. They were carved in France, but have little other markings. Four of them I added to the collection - Shakespeare 2, Bacchus, and Arab 2 & 3. Arab 3 is not briar, and thus has an un-smoked meerschaum insert. I am not certain what the wood is, but it is very old, perhaps 19th century and masterfully carved, as they all are. The briars are first class wood with fine grains, pit-free. The birdseye on Arab 1 is intense on both sides. Anyone who has ever tried to carve briar knows how hard the wood is, and thus difficult to shape; this always gives me a sense of awe.
They can be found in my album:

Ziggy, love the horn... and no wonder my pipes don't look like yours... I don't have the shop... (or the talent)

Here's the new Pipe...!
K. Baysal's Bacchante, the female counterpart to Bacchus the Greek god of wine
and celebration. Baysal was a Master Carver of renown for many years, but alas
had no apprentice. His art has been noteworthy for both technical and creative
achievement. This is the only Pipe of his that I have in my modest collection.
It should be delivered to me shortly.(Fixed Photo - Bob)
