LocationSouth Africa

Started pipe smoking in 1979/1980; puffed on and off for the last 30 odd years.

Love the feeling of pipe smoking

I have a collection of GBD, Savinelli, Georg Jensen and Stanwell pipes - my Savinelli & Danish pipes are my favourites. And of course, no South African should be without a Keyser :-) - built for the tough SA market during the early 20th century.

My pipe collection can be seen at http://www.pienaar.info
