I noticed in the thread on the Grand Opening of Rocky's new storefront for USAK, that two members who went had to extinquish their tobacco pipes at the bar later that night.

That started me thinking, I wonder how many other people on this board also enjoy a good tobacco pipe every know and then? Personally I love my pipes both as collectibles and as sources of physical enjoyment.

If you are into pipes, what types do you have and what is your favorite type of blend?

Personally I have an affection for Italian pipes so my collection includes Castello, La N'Atra, Viprati, & Ser Jacopo. From England I have Dunhill & Ferndown. I've also got some Peterson's, a few Meerschaums, and an assortment of other makers from the US & Europe. As for tobacco, I'm partial to English & Scottish blends, although every now and again I smoke a Balkan.
