My Humble Collection

[TallSmoke]

I figured I'd put up a picture of my little stash. It'd be interesting to see how it looks 5-years from now.

Funny how before I met you guys I had 2-3 pipes I had smoked a good while. Now the madness keeps getting worse. I'm up to 13 pipes, not including cobs. And I used to buy just enough tobacco to smoke, but now I have a small stash started with what you see here along with a few other tins and mason jars in the closet. This pipe rack/case is now full, so I guess once I go to the Raleigh TAPS pipe show next Saturday I'll be (hopefully) needing another rack. (Three of these pipes were sold or given to me by JP and Ol' Dawg.) This one is located in the corner of my home office, which I imagine will be officially designated as the "man cave" once I get a few more things in it. So, here it is, for what it's worth. A mere starter set compared to most of you guys.

TS, nice collection so far. Remember that every journey starts with the first step, I've been smoking pipes for a while now and my rotation of pipes include 20 or so very special pipes, a small collection but a collection that makes me very happy.

 

[PegLegEd]

Excellent starter Set TS.

YOUR STILL A YOUNG MAN.

By the time your as old as me You will look back and say I wonder where all them old guys went to.

Happy collecting. and good luck in Raleigh.

Is it just me or is there something a little... unsettling... about hearing Ken tell TS that he has a "nice rack?" :shock:

 

[Tim in Ohio]

Just to clarify, I meant no offense here brothers. I'm sure TallSmoke has a very nice rack... it's just that he's a dude and all...

 

[TallSmoke]

LOL. Too funny.
