My pipe collection consists of... three. It WAS four, but I gave my first pipe I ever made away to a friend who fell in love with it(love is blind sometimes) and wanted to pay me for the POS(which somehow smoked great, go figure). Needless to say I made the ol' son a gift, no way could I morally accept money for that thing.

Jokes aside, I think last time I counted I was at about 25 that I smoke regularly. Let's rather not count all the rejects, stummels etc lying all around.. :oops:

Aside from shop pipes (aka, my rejects), I have four, but that number will definitely progressively increase.

I have:

2 Bo Nordh's
1 Sixten Ivarsson
1 Lars Ivarsson
1 Nanna Ivarsson
1 Jess Chonowitsch
1 Jorn Micke
1 Suhr
1 Anne Julie
1 Tokutomi
1 Jeff Gracik
1 Jody Davis
1 Rad Davis
1 Tyler Lane
1 Steve Liskey
1 Bruce Weaver
1 Steve Moorriisseettee (never can remember which letters are doubled and which aren't)
0 Todd Johnson's
9 Dunhill Group 1's

I guess that's twenty-five total, and that's plenty. I pretty much smoke only the Dunhill's. I always tell my collectors you can never have "too many" pipes, though.

You don't even have any of your own pipes? How do you know if they smoke good!?

No, I don't have any of my own pipes. They're too expensive, and my wife won't let me buy them.

I see what you're saying though Todd- even if you made it, those are hours you worked, and I've heard on the street that you sell most of the pipes you try to sell. So in essence by not selling it and keeping it- you're buying it.

Well, when I started this thread I had 50, now I'm up to 102. Don't ask me how it happens, it just does. I did inherit about 30 last month.

That said, I'm starting to get some nice high grades. I picked up a Scott Klein at the GKCPC. It is truly a piece of art, a great smoker, and by far the best pipe on my rack.
