Picked up smoking a pipe occasionally earlier this year. I like it to the point of starting to learn carving so I can make my own.

My first pipe, a savinelli tortuga rough 305

My second and current favorite, an OMS poker

And as a gift for completing my master board, my mom had this commissioned. Just waiting to receive it in the mail. Hand carved in turkey from solid block meerschaum.

Here is the link to the carvers website, he put up a series of pictures for the pipe, he was really easy to work with and almost daily communication during the process.

Very nice. I've always liked the smell of most pipe tabacoos but never smoked one myself.

nice! I smoke one on occasion. I like a lane limited blend that was recommended to me. It is 1Q I think.

I have been thinking of at least trying pipe smoking. They do smell good. Just have to figure which brand and what type of pipe tobacco to get.

I've got a couple of pipes. I lost interest once I found cigars. There's just so much to do with a pipe before and after the smoke! :2cents:
