Hello. After a while of lurking I decided to join and after another while decided to post on here.
I have been smoking pipes for like a month now. I have 6 in total. My first pipe I made myself I couldn’t find a decent pipe at any of the tobacco shops around the area so I decided to make one to my own likings, didn’t come out exactly like I planed but it smokes great (working on the second) my second pipe and first one I bought was a Dunhill bent billiard which is awesome and I got it for decent price. The lack of pipe related anything in Stockton, CA made me look for pipes at the antique stores. Now, since I am a collector of everything, I already know where all the antique stores are located and that is where I acquired my other pipes. A very nicely carved briar pipe, a Big Ben desert (I am still trying to find out what it's made out of, not briar, not meerschaum, not clay who knows what it is but it smokes good), a Stetson something I don’t like how this one smokes at all so all it does is lay there. then there is the Savinelli lumberman I love this pipe It smokes great or I should say smoked since I lost the bit, cant find it anywhere so I was thinking of making my own (no idea how to do it though).
Well that is enough I think. Hope to learn many more things about pipes and their use while I'm here.
