I have 28 pipes at the moment, and while I have no true rotation, these are what I most frequently smoke: Dunhill Root Briars from 1949, 1952, and 1956, and a contemporary Shell Briar; a Savinelli Punta Oro Author and Monsieur Author; a Castello KKKK Lovat; a Tom Eltang Canadian; a Lasse Skovegaard Acorn or Apple, I think; and a Comoy Canadian. And a bunch of Petersons and Radice Inverted Calabashes.
I have 28 pipes as of now and I smoke them according to the tobaccos I'm in the mood for and, when in doubt which pipe has had the longest airing time, I decide that by smelling the bowls. I have dedicated my pipes to either heavy Aromatics or light Aromatics or VaPers or pure Virginias or tobaccos containing Latakia, of which I have some dedicated to Oriental-forward tobaccos and the others for tobaccos with more/a lot of Latakia. If I was a rich man, I'd probably have way over 200 pipes, I guess. Every time I browse on smokingpipes, there are so many pipes I'd like to own but can't afford. But in fact the ones I have are more than sufficient for the amount of smokes I have. I love how you, Bradley, celebrate the name "Sasieni" every. bloody. time! :-D I don't know why but I enjoy that tremendously.
Through serendipitous sorting I ended up with a first, 2nd and third string of about a dozen pipes each. And indeed drying time seems to determine the tier lineup. If I can "smell" it, then the individual and sometimes the whole tier gets a rest, even sending some to a salt and moonshine "shower". I did just win 20 clay pipes on ebay, but I suspect I'll string 'em as a windchime... chuckle. Good vids, great hobby.
Pipe collecting is a bit of a trap for me, I seem to keep finding ones I cannot do without 😊 Nice to be able to find a pipe for every mood though with 40 or so to choose from!
I never see anyone smoking Big Ben pipes. I think they are one of the most overlooked and underrated pipes here in US. I'm sure a lot of people smoke them in Europe but I just don't see people with them here. I love them. They are definitely worth the money.
I smoke mainly at work. I smoke meers. I smoke them until they are so dirty they don’t smoke well anymore. Then I clean them with alcohol, let them dry and throw another pipe in rotation. All are sms pipes. A poker, and two omm pauls. A few Peterson systems too. Had to replace an air hose recently and sparked up one of my pauls. Had to place it on the knuckle of my train as I changed the hose. I wish I had had a camera. It looked pretty cool resting up there.
I have a video on my collection, with three newly added Petersons. However your collection is amazing, I think someday I will own one Costello. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice collection Bradley! I always enjoy your tobacco reviews, so thank you, and please keep them coming at your convenience. I have a pretty modest collection of pipes, consisting of 4 Savinellis, 2 Peterson’s, and 4 Missouri Meerschaum cobs. I reserve my cobs exclusively for aromatics, which I don’t smoke as often anyways. My absolute favorite pipes though are my Savinelli 320KS authors. If I only got to keep one pipe, it would be a 320 without a second thought!
Nice. I own 5 Petersons, 3 of which have the p-lip and 2 with a regular fishtail. I will say the p-lips smoke wetter for me. I think it's because the draw is not as free. Drawing on the pipes with nothing in them, you can tell it is more restricted than the fishtails. I'm thinking about swapping out the stems, or sending them down the road. Great collection. I especially love the Castellos.
Hey, it's fun to see your pipes. In my daily Savinelli rotation I use: 506 Corallo De Mare, 506 Punto Oro Mister G, 506 Maradon, 127 Corallo De Mare, 1003 Corallo De Mare, 673 unfinished, 404 Punto Oro, 4pcs 404 Extra, 404 One Rustic, 2pcs Estella, 2pcs system, 626 Roma and 702 Roma. I never use my 810KS Corallo De Mare and my Bulldog Corallo De Mare. If I have a lot of time, Peterson 307 Systen is a good choice.
I have been coveting your Costello 55 since you unboxed it and one of these days I have to find one in that finish a size. It is wonderful looking and looks like it would smoke perfectly for me. I have a Savinelli Punto Oro modern production 114 sandblast and it’s a favorite, can only imagine how great the early models are.
I have 14 briar pipes or so and a few corn cobs. My favorite is probably still my first artisan pipe, a Max Capps Horn. It depends on my mood and what blends I feel like smoking. All pipes are designated to a specific blend type.
This is quite a lineup, haha. I only have one briar as of right now, my Rossi 8504 Palermo, but I have 7 cobs and a MM Ozark as well. One of these days I'm gonna try to get my hands on an estate Castello, always loved the Sea Rock rustication.
I was watching an episode of on of those "house shows" where they tear down your kitchen wall and suddenly everything is a "space" and someone's whipping creme fraishe in the background. But the man of the house said "and there's room for my pipes in here?" and there's a shot of their current home office with a... WALL... of pipes. All colors and varieties. I was amazed. And that's how I picture your smoking room or office, sir.
Bradley thats an awesome collection they do need cleaning. I like them all great rotation line up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃 best regards peter. The Smooooooove piper.
Gentle reminder...indeed it’s been a few years now, I think; but there was some talk about your doing a vid on the restoring, buffing, oiling stems, &c. I know: nag, nag, nag!
Bradley, in my experience, pipes that have turbulent or restricted airflow will smoke wet. Peterson pipes that have P-lips but are not system pipes will fall into this category. I think you'll find that your best smoking pipes have a very easy draw and pass a pipe cleaner easily. Out of the eight Petersons I own, only the ones that don't whistle and pass a pipe cleaner easily are great smokers. Would you say this observation is consistent with your Dunhills and Castellos?
The idea to consider, It might be interesting to see You while cleaning up those oxidized stems on the wheel, Yes , based on experience with Castellos and few Dunhills both these brand real provide with the exceptional smoking experience, cool smoke and effortless draw, ps, pipes with thin chamber wall do teach us smoking slow, that is why I'm starting to love those old estates and all lighter weight pipes)Best Greets, Paul
I've got a Peterson system 25 army style billiard that smokes wet as well ($4 antique shop find) its one of my favorite pipes, but it sounds like Peterson are prone to being wet
Love the video! Glad I going the channel, I'll be upgrading from a corncob pipe soon. Any recommendations? Think you could make a beginner pipe smoking video as well? With the basics etc.
Since you have a regular rotation of pipes and you smoke a variety of tobaccos, do you have a problem smoking Virginia tobaccos from the same pipes you smoke English blends? I have dedicated pipes for VaPers and those for English blends but does it really make a difference?
I'm not trying to brag or anything but you should really try some early 20th century pipes. Some of them will really knock your socks off. Those Old-Timers knew how to smoke I have a 1904 5 6 7 8 and 9 Calabash Style pipes that are amazing... you can tell the exact age of the pipe by the Hallmarks stamped on the silver ring on the stem. Or if you have a silver top sometimes it will be stamps there... and the crazy part is they did not cost more than a new pipe and in a lot of cases cheaper than a lot of money newer pipes
Your lineup is pretty similar to mine, almost same players except I have French beauties instead of Petes,,, 4 Savs 4 Dunhills 1 castello 2 Chacoms and 1 Ropp.
@@stuffandthingsyoutube oh okay great so I’ve got plenty of time. The problem is I want all the pipes now! Love your channel, helped me a lot starting this hobby!
Iam poor I've only one pipe I got used around $80 I have 8 pipes all used and around the $45 to $50 range iam not sure how to say a good smoking or bad pipe something I will think about
As a longtime viewer can I have a moan ? Will you please get those stupid adds removed from the middle of you excellent videos ??????? They are NOT required. Thanks
Since he takes money (as well as Dunhill and Castello pipes) from Patreons and by mentioning his PO box address, odds are he's not going to stop monetizing his channel. I don't mind the adds. If I had to moan, it would be about wasting so much time with the so-called "best part of the show" thanking his patreons one by one every Sunday. A simple banner would suffice.
Spoiled lil guy. Look at that line up! And all the tobacco he is sent! I'd love to pay for some American tobacco and have it sent just over the border by him.... but nope... apparently it is a one way street 😉
