Was trying to decide between a Pete Standard System 31 and an XL 23 and got three new pipes instead. Just could not help myself.

Here are the pics, which I will later post in more detail in separate posts:

What do you think?
Cheers,
J

Thank you guys!
dmcmtk, the hallmark on the BBB is an "S", I think it is for 1992, right?

Nice crop of pipes. The Brebbia is the show piece, but the others are great traditional shapes done exceptionally well. It would be difficult to choose between them, I'll admit.

mso489, I fully agree, the Brebbia is great, but being kindda of a traditional guy, I really love the others too.

The tobacconist where I got them also carried two other very nice Brebbias: POY 2005 and 2006. And the prices are extremely reasonable, so maybe I will get them too! We'll see...
Thank you dmcmtk.
Cheers,
J

Those just terrific looking pipes. I suspect they are going to smoke as good as they look.
Congrats.

Nice job. The first one calls out to me the most, but they all look wonderful.

I like the last Pete the most, but all are fine pipes.

I had a similar quandary last month so I just bought the 3 pipes and avoided the regret thing. You did the right thing and made beautiful choices.
