Hello all, new to the board and to pipes.

[DrT999]

Greetings Everyone!

I'm Tim, from Knoxville TN. I've been smoking pipes since last November, so I'm a nubie. I have gotten into pretty heavily and have already acquired 17 pipes and a couple of vintage racks. Most of my pipe are estate pipes, but I have accumulated some nice ones. My favorites are my three Kaywoodies and my Meerschaum lined pipes. I have a nice Mastercraft meerschaum briar, that's wrapped in pigskin. I also have some nice Dr.Grabows. I have a couple, pretty nice briars, that I have not been able to find anything on. One is a Lloyd George, made in France and another is a Lord Haig "imported bruyere"...has anyone heard of either of these?

This pipe thing has quickly become a small obsession for me and I have become very passionate about my pipes. I just wanted to introduce myself to you all, I look forward to making some new pipe friends on here.

Lloyd's with two L's was made by Comoy, Lloyd George I'm unsure of. Lord Haig, I've never heard of. If you could post a photo of them someone might recognize them.
Welcome aboard sir.  

Ok, maybe this will help (or maybe not) -- do any of the 'history of pipe' experts know of a company that named their pipes at any time after British World War I figures? (LlG was the British PM at the end of WWI, Haig the head British commander of the BEF in France). If not, I would guess they were marked by the shop
