How Many Pipes...
 
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...

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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.

I have one...but it is a nice one

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?

12 and looking to get 4 more in a couple weeks that caught my eye.

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
6 briars and I smoke them all. I plan on getting many more.

ChicagoWhiteSox 01-27-2009 04:26 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
1 cob, 1 briar. :) I smoke both. I smoke the cob when out fishing.

yellowgoat 01-27-2009 04:26 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
oh yeah! by the end of the week all have been smoked. :pi

Zuk 01-27-2009 04:46 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
1 cheapy briar and recently a savinelli 602 that I haven't smoked yet

Curly Cut 01-27-2009 05:13 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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.

Big D KC 01-27-2009 05:51 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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"!

GWN 01-27-2009 06:03 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
13 plus a few others that are headed out.

WWhermit 01-27-2009 08:42 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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.

Curly Cut 01-27-2009 09:26 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...

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

schnell987 01-27-2009 10:26 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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

I have 2 Petersons.
1 Aran
1 Sherlock Holmes Watson.... I love this one ;)

Pat1075 01-27-2009 11:12 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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.

Nick 01-27-2009 11:17 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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).

Mister Moo 01-28-2009 05:31 AM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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

that's it. thx.

Benwoo 01-28-2009 07:38 AM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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.

Slow Triathlete 01-28-2009 08:57 AM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
I have 9 in my rotation and a cob, so 10 total. They all get smoked in rotation.

Root 01-28-2009 09:11 AM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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

silentjon 01-28-2009 10:10 AM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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.

DubintheDam 01-28-2009 01:56 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
35, not including one on the way, my cobs and my clay.

Sawyer 01-28-2009 05:33 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
I have 19, including 4 cobs. I only regularly smoke out of about 6 of them though.

TheJ 01-29-2009 01:52 AM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
8 briars, 2 cobs, 2 meers, and 10 estates.

drevim 01-29-2009 09:06 AM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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.

custommccannix 01-29-2009 03:34 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
7 total, 5 briars, 1 cob and one graphite

custommccannix 01-29-2009 04:07 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
cant remember the website i got it from it was a couple years back. graphite has its place in my book. although it will get very hot if you smoke to fast. ill try to find it again and ill start a new thread about it

dogsplayinpoker 01-29-2009 05:52 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
13 or so. I smoke them all. if they don't work out right, for whatever reason, they are gone!

Hey dogs, good to have you over here at the asylum.

Starscream 01-31-2009 10:20 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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.

petewho 02-04-2009 04:31 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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.

Dog_Soldier 02-07-2009 11:00 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
6 Briars only 4 of them really get smoked, 1 meer, and 4 or 5 corn cobs lying around.

Requiem 02-07-2009 11:57 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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.

Spearl 02-09-2009 01:04 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
I have 4: 1 Cabresi straight billiard, 1 Kaywoodie Saxon, 1 Cob Country Gentleman, 1 Cob Diplomat

Cabresi for the burleys, Kaywoodie for the english, Cob Gentleman for Va, and the Cob Diplomat for Va/Per

I smoke em all; and I love em all!

QUICK! Someone help me with this trip-wire!! If he's not going to fall down this slope on his own, we'll have to help him along!

Emjaysmash 02-09-2009 08:24 PM

Re: How Many Pipes...
 
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!
