Some '20s - '50s estate pipes of mine. Nearly all are available for purchase. Interested, Bebop?

What kind is that 3rd one UP? Price?

 

[Bebop]

Some of those are nice. I think I see some Kaywoodies, a Kirsten. I have too many Kirstens and alot of Kaywoodies. Meerschaum has started to interest me more than before and I have started seeking out special meerschaum pipes. Anyone in the San Francisco Bay area that is interested in pipes, especially meerschaum, should visit Telford's Pipe Shop in Mill Valley. One of my favorite pipe shops anywhere. I have taken a strong liking to their Navy Flake and behave like a kid in a candy store towards those meers everytime I stop by for tobacco.

I know they are cheaper, but Boswells are a good pipe, if you can find them. There is a great place in Fort Worth, at Fifth and Main, Downtown, callede Tobacco Lane. A good selection of pipes, cigar humidor so big it has a Library style rolling ladder, and a wine room. It's the only place to go around here.

I stopped by an antique store today and picked up a Dr. Plumb (very old and numbered), a Brewster, A SUNRISE Amber Grain (very old and numbered).

And how much did I pay you ask? $2 a piece.

 

[Eric]

Oh yeah, a Yello-Bole Nova and an old hydrofilter as well.

You have a good eye. There is a Kirsten, as well as several Wally Franks and one Kaywoodie.

What kind is that 3rd one UP? Price?

The 3rd one up is called a Koolsmoke. From the 1940s. Made of aluminum, with a briar bowl inside the aluminum shell. "Gadget" pipes like this one, made in infinite varieties, have been popular for well over 100 years: they always promise a cooler smoke, thanks to "the wonders of modern technology."

Pipes and tobaccos

I think a good intro (or for that matter - long term) tobacco is Lane's Q1. Another good one is CAO's Vanilla Honeydew.

As a Christmas gift, my sister just passed along my Dad's old pipe which I remember seeing in his top drawer as a kid! It's a 'Vallant' - Imported Briar, Made in Italy.

I don't smoke anymore, but man that sure looks good in my clench!

Here is some of my "pipe stuff" from a post I made on another thread. I have been a pipe smoker for many
years and really enjoy spending time in the company of pipe people.

Nope.

Let's see if this works...

this is my regular smoker...Dr. Grabow Golden Duke...sorry about the picture quality...

 

[Mike K.]

My regular is a Medico Gold Crest.

Tobaccos run the gamut: Capt. Black Royal, Prince Albert, Cornell & Diehl Old Hollywood, G. L. Pease Westminster

 

[BegintheBeguine]

Wow about that pipe, Ian Dundrillon. I'm also a Dr. Grabow girl, with Captain Black or whatever the PX has in the case.

If you like Captain Black then you have to try Argosy Black.
Oh yes and let Prince Albert out of the can.
