Here are most of my pipes.  I left out some lesser ones and any meerschaums.  Later you can click on a pic to see more pics of that pipe in high resolution.

pb120034_small.jpg (4679 bytes) Ben Wade Ambassador

One of my nicer pipes.  A Ben Wade Ambassador that I bought in the mid to late 70's.

pb120047_small.jpg (4777 bytes) Ben Wade Golden Walnut

Recently bought on eBay.  This is one great smoking pipe.

Ben Wade Intermezzo

One of my nicer pipes.  A Ben Wade Intermezzo that I bought in the mid 70's.

Ben Wade Martinique

Bought on eBay, it was in horrid condition and burnt.  I've repaired it as best as I can and will take my time to rebuild a good char.

Ben Wade Heather

Bought on eBay, it was in horrid condition and burnt.  But not as badly as the Martinique.  I've repaired it as best as I can and will take my time to rebuild a good char.

Bjarne Freehand
Bjarne Dublin Bent

A nice little pipe.  Notice the clever repair job for a crack I made.

Bjarne Freehand Panel

A newer acquisition, it's smokes fairly well.  Unfortunately the draw hole is a bit high.

Comoy Lorenzo

An eBay pipe, this is another good smoker.

Comoy

An eBay pipe, this is another good smoker, but on the small side.

Cooper Freehand

An eBay pipe, and a great smoker.  I have no idea who cooper is, but the pipe is inscribed as, ""

 

Danish Sovereign Freehand

I've had this pipe for years.  One of my favorites.  Note the clever repair job.

Danish Sovereign #2

An eBay pipe, I haven't smoked it enough to know how good it will be, but I'm pleased so far.

Don Carlos 1 Note Smooth Freehand

I love Don Carlos pipes.   This pipe quickly made it into my favorites.

Don Carlos 1 Note Smooth Freehand #2

I bought this pipe from a guy on the alt.smoking.pipes newsgroup.  Another good smoker.

Don Carlos 1 Note Rusticated

What can I say?  It's a Don Carlos and therefore a good smoker.

Don Carlos 1 Note Rusticated Ooom Paul

A good smoker.  Is this getting repetitive?

Don Carlos 2 Note Rusticated

I had another like this, but with smoother lines.  I made the mistake of setting it down somewhere and forgot about it.   It wasn't there when I remembered.

Don Carlos 1 Note Rusticated

What can I say?  It's a Don Carlos and therefore a good smoker.

Dr Grabow Meerschaum lined

Now you're asking, what the #@&$* is a Dr Grabow doing here?  Funny you should ask.  I needed a meerschaum lined to try some tobacco.  Later I used it as a test case for my novice refinishing skills.

Unknown Freehand

I bought this as part of the JT Cooke Fund.   I have no idea who made it, but I like it.  This one is massive.

Jobey Dansk Freehand

One of my first pipes and one of my favorites.  I've had a few Jobey Dansk freehands, but lost one to premature burnout within a month and had one or two stolen.

Jobey Dansk Freehand #2

Purchased a bit later than the other Jobey, I like this one, but not as much.

Jobey Dansk Freehand #3

Another great Jobey Dansk Freehand.

Jobey Dansk Freehand #4

Another good, but not great Jobey Dansk Freehand.

Jobey Dansk Freehand #5

I just bought this one on eBay and I've smoked it only once.  It's too early to say.

Karl Erik Freehand

A good smoker.  I bought it on eBay from a picture like this.  When I got it, it had the most horrible scroll work on it.   I managed to resurface it, but found out the reason for the scroll work ........

Karl Erik Freehand #2

Not started yet..  Same story as with the first Karl Erik.  *sigh*  No more Karl Eriks from eBay.

Mastro de Paja Oom Paul

Not a bad smoker, but it gurgles.   The draft hole was a touch high too.  I was able to raise the bottom with some "pipe mud", but that hasn't helped the gurgling.

Mastro de Paja Egg?

No gurgling here.  This pipe has character.  Bought from the same guy that sold me the 2nd Don Carlos Smooth.

Nording Freehand

This pipe has never been great for me.  A bit wet.

Nording Freehand #2

This pipe has been great.  For whatever reason, I prefer to smoke this one as a first of the day pipe.

Orlik

Another eBay pipe.  I like this one so far.  A touch small, I've been using it for straight Virginia tobaccos.

Petersen Kildare

My first petersen from eBay.  Just started but so far so good.  The differently designed bit feels just slightly wrong when I puff.

Preben Holm

Unusually short, this is a good smoker, but leaves me wanting more.

Savinelli Oscar Ellite

Almost all of my Savinelli's are good smokers.  This one is a favorite of all my pipes.

Savinelli Capri Dublin Bent

Almost all of my Savinelli's are good smokers.  Another one that is a favorite of all my pipes.

Savinelli Autograph 4

 

Savinelli Roma #1

Almost all of my Savinelli's are good smokers.   Roma pipes are an excellent value in my opinion.

Savinelli Capri Pot

A good smoker, but I just don't favor this one.  Must be the shape.

Savinelli Roma #2

Another good smoking Savinelli.  I wish I'd discovered the Roma's earlier when they had more.

Savinelli Autograph 4 #2

I haven't had great luck with the Autograph series.  They look nice, but seem to foul up on me.  I might as well buy the cheaper ones.

Savinelli 120th Anniversary

I bought this pipe on eBay for a good price.  It's still breaking in, but I like it so far.

Savinelli Academia

In my opinion, this is a Roma with a flair.   In other words, a good pipe.

Savinelli Autograph Second

I couldn't get my pinky into this pipe when I got it from eBay.  The sides a touch thin, but it smokes well, if a bit hot.

Savinelli Capri 413

An eBay pipe I haven't tried yet.

Savinelli Nonparelli

I like this one, even if the bore size is small.

Ser Jacopo La Fuma

My first Ser Jacopo.  I will be buying more.

Stanwell

An eBay purchase I don't regret one whit.  Destined to be on my favorites list.

Stanwell Pipe of the Year 1999

I like this pipe.  It was the first I dedicated to straight Virginia, simply because it cried out for it.

Stanwell

A bit too early to say on this eBay purchase, but I think I'll like it.

WO Larsen Port

My only WO Larsen.  I like this pipe, but it's a touch small.  Another straight Virginia devoted pipe.
