do you all own?
how many do you not smoke?
I've got around 30+/- (counting 3 or 4 cobs).
there are about 5-8 that i don't smoke often or ever. some are bad smokers, or bulky, or ugly, or dedicated to types of blends i don't prefer anymore, or combinations of the previously stated issues...

I have ten, 2 cobs, 1 meer, 7 briar
the first couple I reach for are the bigger cob, my sav Roma, and my tsuge. Although I see myself reaching for my new Johs more often now

16 have smoked them all.
I have 12. 2 cobs and 10 briar. One of my pipes is in need of some work and is not in smoking order. I have a Randy Wiley which is really nice but doesn't get smoked much because it is massive and I haven't found a baccy that it burns well. Other than that they all get their share of smoking.

8 pipes for me, 4 briars, 4 cobs.
Right now only two pipes have been used. My VA pipe and my bust'em up cob. I smoke the VA mixed blends in this.

how nice? not money-wise, just what makes it "nice" to you?

I just counted mine up. I think I have 26, but I have a pipe rack at work that has some sitting there, so it could be more. If I count the 4 recent ebay wins, it would be 30, but didn't plan on keeping those.

26 and counting! I am obviously afflicted with PAD. 2 meers, 2 cobs the rest briars. I always tend to have atleast 5 in my ebay watch list! I have 2 briars that I am not smoking due to their condition. 1 cob is brand new and unsmoked still as well as 2 of the briars. The rest all get used regular. I wouldn't call it a "rotation" though, more like a "random"!
13 plus a few others that are headed out.

I have 1 meerschaum and 9 briars. All get smoked except for 1 briar, which I'm really pissed off at. It was a "budget" Mastro de Paja. No matter what I load in there, or how I load it, within the first few puffs, it clogs with tobacco, and it's like sucking milkshake through a straw. Have not found a solution yet, aside from total destruction.
Aside from that, I smoke all the others regularly.

Did you try drilling that sucker out to about 5/32.

Ahh the curse of having too many pipes. Poor you Greg.

I have just 4 so far, one cob and 3 briars. Once I get the hang of filling it properly, I'm sure that the collection will grow. :pi

7 one cob, and 2 that I rarely smoke one because it is the family pipe and it is in my care for the next 30 years or so (best and worst christmas present ever) . And one because I just don't like its character that much.
It's a shame to have a pipe that you are too afraid to smoke.

i just have to say that i love the name/avatar.
also, when they made the movie, they should've cast Danny DeVito as Boss Hogg, he would've been perfect (and the big chick, Mimi, from that show in Cleveland... forgot the name of it).

I think I have about 10 too many. The pipes I don't smoke are pretty much pieces of crap I got off ebay that were cracked, burned out or otherwise not what I'd hoped for. After them, that probly leaves 15 more. They all get smoked regularly or in spurts according to my interest or the tobak auf den Monat.
There are two I want to love that tend to burn hot in the lower chamber; they are both the current focus of smoking attention. They are getting doses of Carter Hall/MacB Navy Flake (50/50) in a serious conical cake-building exercise.

7 so far, but the PAD is a constant bane. I find myself surfing pipe sites much more than is healthy.:o

A lowly 4... 2 of which are probably trash. I love my Beg Ben pipe but have de-virginized'er yet. Trying to figure the right blend to keep it filled with.

I have 9 in my rotation and a cob, so 10 total. They all get smoked in rotation.
I guess it's sad to say but i've lost count and couldn't tell ya'll. I got them stuffed so many places, i know there is a couple i havn't smoked but they all have uses

I only have two, but that is good enough for me. I smoke pipes mostly just in the winter.

I've got almost as many, i'd say 22 or 23 briars, but probably 10 or so I smoke regularly (6-7 very regularly). Others are due to the same issues above.
6 cobs, 2 I smoke every once in a while; 1 new one waiting for a future PIF/trade.
2 Meers, but rarely smoke them now; I don't care much for the stem bend on one, and the other isn't a great smoker.

35, not including one on the way, my cobs and my clay.

I have 19, including 4 cobs. I only regularly smoke out of about 6 of them though.
8 briars, 2 cobs, 2 meers, and 10 estates.

10 total, 1 cob and 9 briar. 6 of which were estate/ebays.
Of the lot, about 5 are regulars, but all smoke fair. I've been pretty forunate with the ebay gets.

1 briar and one cob. The cob was my grandfather's and is probably at least 40yrs old.

I know right. Not only is it a beautiful pipe but it smokes like a dream but I'd be drawn and quartered were I to burn it out.

6 briars, not really in rotation, but 2-for-each kind of tobacco I like (2 for straight VA, 2 for VA/Per, 2 for English/Lat).
1 cherrywood pipe, for English
1 basket briar for aros
2 cobs - one for fishing/camping/etc, one for aros
1 new Bjarne on-the way
So 10 today, 11 by next week.

7 briars (1 Savinelli; 1 Peterson; 2 Big Ben; 3 Hilson), all bought new over the last 4 months. I guess I´ll be buying some more, from time to time, within the $100 budget. Right now I´m giving priority to tobaccos and a couple racks.

I got 3. One Cobb, two briars, one for aromatics (which hasn't been smoked in close to half a year) one for more robust blends. The last pipe I smoked was my cobb over break. Definitely a good time!
