Show off your pipes...

Here's some of mine.

Just kidding. It's a photo from the tobacconist I use. This is only about 1/3 of the pipes they have on display, but they have enough pipes in the basement to outfit at least two more stores of the same size.

I keep my pipes stored away in closeable pipe display boxes so I don't have to dust them or worry about the stems oxidizing. I've got about fifty all together. Here's some of them for real.

I forgot to mention the museum at the pipe shop. If anyone wants to see a bunch of pics covering about 100 years of pipe smoking history, check out this link:

Very Nice MrJeff!!

I just might have to start smoking mine again. Oh Boy will the wife be upset with me then!!!

Just don't tell her you got the idea from me.

This is the one I just picked up as an early birthday present. Don't have anything other than some Captain Black for it, because finding decent pipe tobacco locally is....let's just say I'm still looking.

Lil Brown Smoke Shop is a little ways up the road from you in Yakima. They've usually got a pretty good selection of pipe tobacco at good prices. Your ban on shipping tobacco there really limits your options.

I spy some nice looking Kawoodies in your collection Mr.Jeff. I've become interested in them in my short pipe smoking time.

Good to know. I don't get into the Yakima area often (occasionally pass through there for Miner's before heading for Seattle), but next chance I get, I'll check it out.
Thanks MrJeff!

EDIT: Just checked 'em out, and shipping in Washington State isn't a problem. Have to do up an order when I can because Captain Black kind of sucks. :)

I love Kaywoodie pipes and have about twice as many as in that picture. I troll ebay looking for older 4 digit models from the 30's and have had good luck. In their day they were the finest American pipe made, and they still smoke fabulously. They can be had for very reasonable prices.

The Captain is good for change every now and then, but can get old. I'm glad to help out, hopefully you are able to find something that that you have been wanting to try.
