lawyer and very content pipe smoker for 35 years

Far too much tobacco -- pounds and pounds of bulk blends and straight blending tobaccos, and literally countless tins (aging) of English, VA, VaPer, Oriental. Pipes? Never too many. Nothing in that collector's stratosphere of $500-$0,000s. Just quality up to about $150 -- Savinellis, Petersons, Stanwells, Chacoms, Parkers, Ben Wades, Comoys, you get the drift. Love all shapes, sizes, finishes and mouthpieces, but for me nothing beats a straight billiard. I keep in that price range because I don't want to cry if I lose one but want a good smoker nonetheless.
