"He's got a collection of meerschaum pipes that would make an Arab prince jealous."

~ Jared Bradfield, New Bern NC

I bought my first pipe about 2004, I think. It was the Savenelli briar in photo number one. Since then I have accumilated nearly 40 pipes over the years. I began collecting briar pipes, then began buying inexpensive "Apprentice" meerschaum pipes. I now only buy meerschaum vintage pipes from the Master Carvers like Servi, Bekler, andSevket.
