New Pipes Smoker

jonharky · 05-25-2009, 08:46 PM

I am a new pipe smoker and have been getting tips from Christos (greekgodx) It started this past Saturday going to my B&M and asking the guy about the ones he had there. He handed me a corn cob and some tobacco to try and just ask me to donate to the troops which I was more than happy to do. Today while I was at my aunt and uncle's house I was talking to my uncle about me starting to smoke pipes and he told me he used to and still had quite a few pipes. We went downstairs and picked a box up and opened it up as he was going through he was saying this is a good one and said "here" and gave it to me after 10 mins and 3 more pipes I was happy as a man could be with a new hobby. Here are the pictures of the pipes he gave me. From top to bottom:

Estella
English Gold
The Briar Workshop
Savinelli

I've heard of Savinelli but never heard of any other ones. Thanks for looking

That savinelli looks damn nice.

After doing some research I found that the Estella is a Savinelli. Like I said I am new to this pipe thing and am pretty excited about getting started!!

Very nice!! hopefully he will be able to get you that meerschaum. I will have to check those out. Did he smoke them often?

jonharky · 05-26-2009, 09:10 PM

I don't think so but I do think its been awhile since he last smoked them

We'll talk more about it in person, but the reason I ask is because there is a "break-in" period for pipes. So if he already built up a pretty good cake on those pipes and they are broken in good then you might be a very lucky newbie piper
