My small family of briar

Preacher · 02-22-2016, 07:23 PM

I have smoke cigars for years. About 6 or 7 years ago, I got curious about pipes. They were a win win because the wife loves the smell of a good aromatic. Pictured here is my small but treasured collection. I'm extremely lucky that my B&M carries a wonderful collection of beautiful briar.

Very nice, Ed! I just got into pipes myself, still experimenting and looking at different pipes.

Just like cigars, there are so many out there. My local shop carries some pipes by Former that have stupendous price tags. Hans Nielson usually comes and does a show once a year here. I just don't have $5k to drop on a pipe.

Nice collection! I currently have 4 pipes, all estate pipes. Starting to figure out which pipe I want to be my first unsmoked pipe. Tough decision! Great collection though.

Nice collection. I think I am leaning more towards my pipes and so far this year getting more into them. I find myself wanting more.

That's a great looking family you have there Ed

My family consists of 4 meerschaums (we're expecting another addition to tbe family this week), and a couple of briars. Good to have you on board the Asylum...

Nice little collection. My advise, don't overlook a the corncob pipe. I love my cobs and smoke them just as often (if not more often) than my briar pipes.
