newbie from arkansasgood afternoon my name is ahgar and i'm an adjustomaticaholic. started smoking a pipe not long ago and finally picked up a couple of new and several estate grabows and can't get over how well they smoke. currently i'm obsessed with the adjustomatic models but also feel the need for a big pipe. I really like the forum and all the information you guys provide and appreciate it. thanks, ahgar

-aholic here...I'm a bentaholic. Glad you're here!

Welcome ahgar. For ajusto's you have to shop for old pipes. They don't make 'em anymore. Sad too, because it is the best pipe joint going.

Hi Ahgar and welcome to the DGCF! IF I may ask what, part of Arkansas do you hail from?

thanks for the welcome guys. i wish someone had warned me about how addictive pipes are, not so much to smoke but to buy. i'm rapidly running out of room and it's getting a little ridiculous. I mean just how many pipes does a fella need, that's a rhetorical question especially considering the company i'm in. I agree that the adjusto is the best stem going, simple and works very well. I'm located in central arkansas, land of uh well i'll get back to you on that. thanks again guys. ahgar

366 - 432 is about right.

As many as it takes you to figure out which ones you like best.

That's not exactly true Steve. I figured that out back at 30 pipes. I have over 70 now and I feel like I'm just starting to warm up.

well at the rate i'm going it probably won't be that long before i'm well past the 100 mark. i've got everything from kaywoodie to GBD and the funny thing is i keep reaching for a viscount, a little rhodesian, and a regal. they just seem to work very well for me. no snob appeal but tons of smoke appeal. and i really like that they are made in the U.S. .

What do you smoke in the Regal, Ahgar? I've found they make great Virginia pipes as most of them are on the smaller side. I've got a larger one that smokes English well.

I've tried a couple of aromatics from my local B&M, along with PA and carter hall but my latest favorite is Rum and Maple. my wife gave me a tub for my birthday and i have to say i like it very much. btw i believe you helped me on the CPS forum a while back and i appreciated it. thanks, ahgar

what i've got is the old lanes blend no53, rum and maple. not an aromatic i beileve just a geezer burley with some very mild topping or casing i get those confused. really closer to carter hall than an aromatic. very mild with a pleasent flavor. it's usually poo pooed by most people but i like it so much i'll pick up another 14 oz tub when i get the chance. it's been discontinued by lane so whats out there is all there will be. does very well in all my grabows.
