This is my pipe, a Savinelli Trevere 616. Rusticated and a good smoke. Sadly I have been forced to quit for a variety of reasons, mostly because I don't have a place to smoke anymore. I used to smoke at school, but unfortunately my campus went tobacco free and my dear brother, mother, and father are all against my smoking to a point that they have banned it at the house. Seeing as I can't smoke inside or outside, I've quit.

My favorite tobaccos are(or were) Captain Black White, Dunhill Nightcap, Dunhill Flake, and Peterson's Sunset Breeze. Also, forgive my state, I took the photograph in my pajamas.http://greeneyespetrified.tumblr.com/private/25953143837/tumblr_m68v5envMy1qbr65r

The second image is of a kiseru style pipe I made myself along with a tamper I made from a piece of deer antler I found during forest fire fighting in 2003 in the BC interior.

Here are three more from the collection, all three by the Canadian pipemaker, Michael Parks:

By the way, while I don't (yet) have any of Steve Morrisette's pipes, he is extremely talented and makes terrrific smoking pipes by all accounts. It's great to have two distinquished artisans on FL (the other being Brad Pohlman).

+1! That's awesome. I wish those two, as well as Michael Parks were anywhere near my budget range! Beautiful pieces, CPT/VSG. I went into a cigar store in Thousand Oaks, CA a few days ago, and surprisingly, the guy had a really nice selection of pipes: Ardors, Vipratis, L'Anatra's Winslows, and of course Petersons--- not to mention a liquor cabinet full of $350+ bottles of whatever. What a wonderful culture shock for someone who is used to everything being "entry-level" in South Dakota!

Got my first pipe in the mail today. An old Peterson from my dad. Not sure of the vintage, probably 70s...

Sorry 'bout the horrible pic. I'm the world's worst photographer

Gonna head over to Kramers in Beverly Hills tomorrow and pick up some tobacco.

Please tell me more about Kramer's. I'd like to stop in while I'm still in the area: about another week or so.

 

[BDP]

I'll let them tell you about themselves, but it is a great shop with lots of ambiance.... and if you're into English blends they've got some winners..

Anyone ever try Troost Slices in the tin? Supposed to be pretty darn good, but can't get it here in the US.

Thanks! looks like a neat little place, even if the tobacco descriptions do more name-dropping than describing. I wish I'd had the time to give them a visit. Oh, well, maybe next time.

I found this one today in the Soviet WWII. encampment. Since it's made from bakelite, repair might not be a problem.

Here is my little collection my wife and I enjoy. She picks out most of them. Some she finds at our favorite tobacco shop and others she found in Antique stores.

I've left most of my pipe collection in the USA, so I only brought 4 pipes with me. I Like my calabash for the taste, but my favorite is the lumberjack. None of these were expensive, mostly used.

It's hard to get good pipe tobacco in the 'Nam.

Few new pipes I picked up this week while on vacation.
