Pete 307, in rough shape...Pete 314, in good shape, but small for my taste...a Mastercraft, in fine shape[ looks a bit like a Grabow freehand]...a little pick-axe{ish} pipe ,marked ROCKY, over West Germany...and a pipe I purchased from The Tinder Box, a craggy billiard ,flocked at the shank in gold & white acrylic with a military stem of the same material; it's marked, G. Vecchio, over Bantamauro Italy...after a good dusting and a few pipe-cleaners, I'm smoking some Eureka in it as I type. |

I’ve only been at this since 2015, but it was still nostalgic to discover a few pipes I bought early on. A Stanwell poty 2013 and another rusticated billiard, along with a long forgotten MM Country Gent. Brought back fond memories of sitting on my porch watching the neighbors walk by all while scorching my tongue on gloopy aromatics. After I cleaned them up they’re good little smokers and part of the rotation. Glad you were reunited with some of your old friends as well! |
