You wanted some close up and personals...here is a brief introduction to some favs.

This is my Peterson block meer.  It's coloring pretty good considering a year ago it was pretty much white.


Here is my 61st birthday present from my wife, Judy. Peterson Irish Army 999. My favorite.


My Stanwell Hans Christian Anderson 06 from a friend in England. Decent of him, eh? Thanks Alan!
This is my KBB Chesterfield. KBB was the forerunner of Kaywoodie.
My Peterson 305. Love this shape, but they tend to smoke hot. This pipe is the one that taught me to slow way down and sip 'n savor the vaporous form of the nector of the herb.


Here is an interesting old pipe. Estate from ebay. Lord Algrow. Smokes like a dream. The overall size makes it a very cool smoker. Smokes dry as the sohairy desert.
Now we come to the pipe I'm smoking tonight. It's a Turkish made meer I got off a forum member. Good pipe. Fake amber stem (acrylic). Coloring nicely at the shank but it doesn't show up much. This is an old pic. Someday, if the coloring proceeds, I'll update the pics.

That's a taste for you folks. I'll post some more some time. Hoot, Dave...Thanks again for allowing me to participate.

    The Lord Algrow is something to behold.

  3. Dave, that Lord Algrow cleaned up real well. It had been severely "loved" with little if any attention. After cleaning and firing it up I can see why someone loved it. Old wood is good wood.

    Whomever pulled that Irish Army when filling my order picked a good one. Drilled right (not all Petes are), beautiful grain, smokes very cool if I do my part, feels right in my hand, good to look at...it's just a great pipe.
