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

That's some pipe Chuck.
I would have to say, I know that you're all laughing but... My bent cob nose warmer... Don't ask me why...
Phil, you made history with that pipe! I'd like it as well if I had invented the nose-warmer cob.
Beautiful? Like a llama's smile.
I would have to say it is my Stanwell:
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.
JC, Your either Santa or just a grumpy old man in your new avitar...
Cortez, I did, didn't I...
I like your pick Phil, Oh great nose-warmer inventor!! I have to think about this one and post a picture later.
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.

Louis, That is a nice looking pipe... what is it, about 5" long?
It's about 6" long x 2" hight x 1"3/4 wide. It smokes like a charm! Actually all my Blatter pipe smoke like a charm. What amaze me the most it cost me 80$can and the quality is amazing. I don't know what are the international shipping policies are but here is their catalogue.
Blatter&Blatter
With the exception of my little Ardor in the middle.
Here are my "Most Beautiful".
Lawrence, I like the bottom two...
I smoke those more than any others.
They are my top two fave's.
But, "Fist Full of Dollars" is coming on strong.
As long as the "Fist of Rage"
is in the running!
I guess it would be this antique
I'm facinated by that Tinsky Lawerance (upper left). What would you call that shape? A fluted calabash? A tulip?
The wife calls it my "ice cream dish".
That is very cool Arthur.
Art... Nice pipe with all the "BLING"!
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:

It is really hard to choose. There are a few more that I really love how they look.
The Freehand...
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.
Thanks guys. The real old pipes are fascinating.
Easy Choice for me!
Now that is a thing of beauty, Ghost.
SUPERB! Ghost!
Sweet pipe... Ghost
Great looking pipe Ghost!
This Larsen Pearl by Jess Chonowitsch
That's a gorgeous pipe Yachtexplorer!
Sigh....... beautiful Yacht.
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.
If you only knew how BIG my eye's got when I saw that pipe!
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.
Absolutely stunning pictures.
This my most beautiful pipe... But my local B&M owner just told me he would let me put a pipe on layaway, so I might have another one for you guys soon!
Royal Danish 936 (Stanwell Second)
Just recently got this one
Absolutely gorgeous Excav8tor.
Is that a lucite stem or is it some type of amber or bone?
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.

Fred what do you mean it has been carved a half dozen times?
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.
Bubbadreier, what I was trying to say is that I've only
seen 6 of these Pipes, so far...
Oh! That makes sense now, sorry for the stupid question...
For now its the Brigham #212 - 2dot.. for now...just for the nice bowl
Everybody has some real nice "Pimp'n" pipes....wow....fantastic pictures !!!
It's not a stupid question Bubbadreier. Strive as I do for
clarity in writing, I can still find it lacking.
I've posted these elsewere but these two


The Chacom Grand Cru sits on my desk all the time. I've thought about asking a pipe maker to copy the shape.
That Chacom is just gorgeous! I am truly jealous...
Beautiful grain, classy shape.
Very very nice.
Nice looking pipes everyone!
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.

My favorite so far would have to be my Savinelli Sitting 111ks

I'm a huge fan of the "classic" look, not so much a fan of crazy designs. But hey, to each his own.
I have 2 J Alan pipes and this is one I picked up for a steal off eBay.
