Very cool, congrats. Birth year pipe?
Thanks. I'm ten years older than this pipe. Birth year pipe is on the list however.

Wow Brian! Some great goodies there.
I guess I'll show mine now that I've already been outdone...
My last order to Japan.

Awesome! I've got a soft spot for black blasted/rusticated pipes, so those are all beautiful in my eyes! I'm liking the Sav320 and the Ferndown in particular.

Picked up an unsmoked Savinelli-made Thompson natural rusticated briar jaw hanger, likely from the late-70s/early-80s. I have another of these Sav-made Thompsons and they're great smokers. Nice and cool, and they do start to color over time.

Picked up a Kaywoodie Drinkless. I believe I saw somebody refer to this shape as a panelled bulldog. Sounds good to me.
Oooooo, I like. Good looking pipes.
Hirsute and Kilroy, two interesting pipes you have. I'm curious to see the Thompson get some color in it. Never have come across that shape in a Kaywoodie. Enjoy them gentlemen.

Let me know how that is. I might want to check it out.
Interesting read for the first two chapters. It is a work of history starting from the origins of pipes up through the early 20th century.

Here's a comparison with my other one. It arrived lightly smoked and I've smoked t pretty well for a few months. It's losing its tan-yellow color and going toward reddish-brown.

That's going to be a nice transformation from lighter to darker as you smoke it more. I guess this proves the point that briar absorbs tars like Meers do.
I just received a package from Andrew, a Peterson 1988 and a R. Santia. I love both of those they are going to be in my rotation.

Another arrival today. A nice chunky Savinelli Club billiard with a silver band and Cumberland stem. It's a European market pipe, so it's a 9mm filter pipe. Great smoke with or without a filter!
The Cumberland goes so well with that color briar. Very nice pipe.
