I won't allow myself to "collect," properly speaking -- I have more pipes than I need, and I'm concerned about the instinct in me which wants to hoard multiples of the same thing, for no reason (an instinct which I feel strongly sometimes).
But if I were going to do this, I know exactly what it would be:
Kriswill -- a nautically themed Danish factory pipe on par with the old Stanwells, but never given any attention today -- had a certain interpretation of the billiard which I simply adore. The bowl had hints of eggish brandy, and with perhaps just the slightest suggestion of forward cant. The shank was oval, and the way that bowl curved into that oval shank was quintessentially Danish. Also the way the shank and stem formed a consistent taper from bowl to bit was uniquely Danish.
I have one in their "Clipper" line. I've seen a similar (but I think not identical) shape in their "Navigator" line.
(I'm not interested in their non-nautically themed lines like "Chief")
I could see myself hunting these down.

Yes, 3 pipes in-fact:
1. Years ago some member posted a picture of his Yello-Bole Collegiate, which had been beautifully re-furbished by New Born iirc ... I still think about that little pipe.
And,
2. Rattray Goblin Light 99 smooth, and Fachen 107 bent apple.
Unlike the Yello-Bole, I am surprised I can't find the Rattrays, as it was not all that long ago that these were being produced. - Sherm Natman

Woah!!! Brother @AroEnglish are you also a part-time Magician? That was awesome!
Thank you! - Sherm Natman
I get that mistake a lot but in reality I'm a full-time magician
I’ve been looking for an MM reverse calabash ever since I saw the one that @Chasing Embers had a few years ago. Something about that pipe really catches my eye.
I’ve had a saved eBay search since then (2020 IIRC) and have yet to see one pop up for sale.

I Googled that Fachen 107 and I have to say, it's a "fachen" awesome looking pipe. Really though, I love that dark green rusticated look.
I have a thing for Oom Pauls. I like the look, and I like how they smoke - I can be very lazy with how I hold them or just let them hang from my jaw.
Though I have several Oom Pauls already, I'm always on the lookout to see if Pipes and Cigars restocks this bad boy, Crown's 106 shape, I believe. I don't know why, but the particular silhouette of this one does it for me. Plus, I'm cheap and I like cheap pipes that smoke well, and all of the Crown pipes I own or have owned are/were fantastic, cool, dry smokers.

They sell new pipe racks every day.
Haha, well yeah, but that's how I limit myself, otherwise I'll end up spending way too much money on way too many pipes.
I undersign to this, I have to admit, I'm interested in medium to large size longer length classic billiards

My question is, "how do they actually sell these pipes?" It's a cool shape but that pineapple look is not doing it for me. More for @BriarBrook!
I check SP every Monday and Thursday for a Musico to show up like the one that got away. A black sandblasted paneled billiard with silver army mount. I also frequently check SP Europe and another Italian site for the same.
