    In a spin off of Oppie's "favorite" thread, What is your most beautiful looking pipe?
    For me, it's this Danish cut Astley.

    I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane.

    Phil, you made history with that pipe! I'd like it as well if I had invented the nose-warmer cob.

    This isn't the first time I've posted a picture of this pipe, but this Savinelli is the one I'd have to choose from my collection.

    As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake.

    Wow! You guys have great pipes. They all have beautiful grain, event the corn cob has a great pattern, reminiscent of brier bird-eye. Here is my little jewel, it's hand made by the local craftsmen of Blatter&Blatter. It's nothing fancy I just like the way the general look of my large billiard.

    I'm facinated by that Tinsky Lawerance (upper left). What would you call that shape? A fluted calabash? A tulip?

    Lawrence... All of the pipes in the picture are very nice, but that Calabash is something special.

    Art... your collection is amazing. I say that based on the pipe posted here as well as the assortment you just posted on another thread. It's like a history lesson on pipes!

    Great looking pipes everyone!

    Trying to choose just one pipe is like trying to choose between your children. They are all beautiful in their own way.

    I would probably say that this Ardor is my most beautiful pipe:

    With honorable mention to my Nording and my Luciano:

    The Luciano has some great birdseye on the bottom. You can see some really good photos of the Luciano here:
    http://neatpipes.com/store/catalog/800/lu019L.jpg

    It is really hard to choose. There are a few more that I really love how they look.

    You are right Bob it's hard to choose.
    But I love a good Free Form, I'm with Phil.

    However, one of my favorites is my little Ardor.
    They are all very nice.

    The grain, lines, and character of the pipes on this thread have been simply outstanding to date, my thanks to all of you for sharing... now if I could just win the lotto so that I could buy one of each.

    Beautiful indeed. And with that name on it I assume the cost is about that of a good used car.

    Jess Chonowitsch is one of the hottest name in pipes right now. His pop Emil was no slouch either.

    I won't see any communication directed to me here. I'm no longer active at this forum.

    This really is a killer thread guys... I can't really pick one Pipe out from my
    modest collection anymore than I could be happy with just one blend. Having said
    that, this is one of the first Pipes I acquired from Sadik Yanik... It has been
    carved about half a dozen times that I'm aware of and always provides a great smoke.

    I suppose my most beautiful (I have yet to fully restore any of my other acquisitions at this time) would be my Savinelli Venezia 677KS. I just received it in the mail and can't wait to try it out later.

    pstlpkr, It's bone. Actually, it's classed as a Ladies Pipe, but I don't care.... I'm just getting in touch with my feminine side!!!
    It's just a bit bigger than my Dr Plumb's Baby.

    Thanks Bubba! Would you believe someone was going to throw that away? He busted the stem and was going to toss it so I sent it to Rich Lewis for a new stem and its perfect.
