I enjoy my pipes, indoors and out. The bent shapes are easier for me to see where the devil I'm lighting. The straight pipes keep the smoke out of my eyes (decisions, decisions). trying to build a viable cellar to withstand the "tax the hell out of everything" years (I'll probably die first). Most of my pipes are from E-bay so I'm learning how to clean them up. I'm kind of tickled by the older pipes, the tyrolean looking types from europe and the fifties style pipes my dad and grandfather used. I'm fascinated by history and disgusted with the current state of politics.
