Pipes You'd Have If You Were Willing To Spend The Money

Anthony,

I have one also, think it was my third Blowfish and it tickled me just right even not seeing Peck had one!

This Werner Mummert reverse calabash. I love this thing, especially since I'm a big beer drinker and it reminds me of my favorite growler.

If I had the money I would gladly pay for a commission on this beautiful and unique pipe.

Erm, not sure I'd like to pay even $50 for such a piece. It'd be likely to elicit all kinds of jokes from onlookers.
But, well, beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder, as they say.

 

[rmpeeps]

I’d start with several Baki meerschaum pipes.

 

[carolinachurchwarden]

Same reason I'm no fan of a blowfish or a straight billiard, I reckon. We all have those little quirks about certain pipes and pipe styles we love.

My goodness, Fish. That's a heck of a pipe. Absolutely gorgeous! :clap:

I think my lack of pipe aspiration has to do with a slight egomaniacal trait whereby the glory of a pipe has to do with the effect my possession and use of it imparts on the pipe -- the wear and maintenance I bring to it that makes it my own. That's why a low-end Kaywoodie Drinkless complete with stinger, and little market value, still has appeal after some years of use. Packing such pipes still involves a distinct buzz of anticipation for me. But I still get a thrill out of photos of others' budgetary skyrockets. And I do have a few of my own.

Already own my dream pipes - my Michael Parks' rhodesian set of three.

I would love a Lars pipe, but think that is unlikely now.

 

[ashdigger]

Peck, I remember those. :clap: :clap:

How did I miss that thread. Those pipes are stunning, Peck.

If I was going to blow upwards of 5 grand, it would be for a Jess Chonowitsch pipe. His take on a Dublin is my favorite of any maker.

 

[Chasing Embers]

That's sharp!

 

[bluegrassbrian]

An early Sixten in a traditional shape would be a dream.
Connected in a roundabout way, theres a Suhr Ive been looking at greedily but its a bit higher than I usually go.

 

[seacaptain]

Not sure, maybe a pristine 1920's Dunhill Prince shell.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Forgot about these, but would still like to have one. An Alexander Sokolik Smooth Cello Fish.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Really?? I'd feel sheepish smoking such in public. And chamber walls are very thin in spots.
Beautiful execution, though.

 

[fishnbanjo]

What he’s smoking! Oh wait, I do own it!

[Chasing Embers]

Really??

Yep! Always loved classic string instruments and that one just struck a "chord". :rofl:

Oh wait, I do own it!

I'm negotiating one as we speak.

 

[fishnbanjo]

Awesomeness! There’s just some certain mojo when you own something the person who made it owned it themselves.

If I had the means it would be Walt Cannoy and 2 like these. These are things of staggering beauty to me.
