Jump on over to the newbie pipe trade thread please.I don't even smoke pipes and was like wow!

Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

They're all beautiful pipes. I'm very torn also. But I'm a fan of the bent stem pipes.I'm quite torn between 1 & 2.
