What is the pipe in your collection that draws puzzled, bewildered looks? Mine hands down is this strange, mystical pipe made by Nording; it looks like it grew in some mysterious swamp or fairy ring circle. It is, like all Nordings, a great smoker.

Most all of my 50 some odd pipes are fairly low key, but here are the ones that are (to my somewhat conservative eye)what I would call "eyecatching".
First up, a pair of Peterson "Draculas", a "606' straight pot and an "01" bent pot. Both recent purchases from Sparrowhawk.
Next up is another Peterson "Dracula", this time an "03" full bent apple. It's not a very good pic, I know, sorry.
And lastly is my Nording "Special Rustic" 1/8 bent ball. Mainly because of it's unusual shape. Once again, sorry for the poor quality iPhone pics.
By the way, that Nording is a beauty Sparrow!

My most eyecatching pipe is my first, and very beat up cob. It looks HIDEOUS, but I still love it!
A no-name meer from the Tinderbox of the late '60s.
Most non-pipesmokers see it as ostentatious. It is, a bit, I suppose.

I have a cob that a lot of people don't believe it is really a cob...but it does not produce the puzzled looks until after I mention it is a cob.
This one gets the looks because of all the carved through weaves.

I'd say it is a toss-up between two of my Upshalls, a P-grade with a tobacco leaf silver band and a B-grade Silver Spiogot.
Thats a tough one. Most of mine caught my eye thus I think many are eye catchers, and cant choose
