Yeah, otherwise I like Nörding pipes.
Remember when I first saw freehands by Nörding, I was quite blown away.
I didn't know pipes could look like that.

Yeah, pretty cool!
The first time I saw freehands was when I visited Danish pipe shop in the early nineties.
Before internet and all, it was quite a sight with all different pipes covering the walls.

If you want a cheap route into trying a Dunhill, James Barber in the UK sells a range of pipes called "B Line" that are Dunhill seconds.

He never cooked them right. Too much paprika.So did Dahmer.??
I have a rare 1926 Dunhill. George said it was only the second one he's seen. It also smokes very good.
I don't like fat pipes with fat bowls and fat shanks and stems.
I don't like Dr. Grabows. I don't like Medicos. I don't like Yello Boles (I have one, but it was my grandfather's.)
I have a Kaywoodie that I like.
And i don't like pipes that look like a dick.

Pipes that don't "grab" me, I don't despise, just don't admire or buy. Porn type pipes are just amusing, as is other carving I may not like. One brand that has always left me with mixed feelings are Neerup, recognizing they have many admirers and satisfied owners. I like the finishes, band work, stems, and all. Visually, they just look too front-loaded to me, that bulbous bowl on the end of that stalky little stem. It's because I do visit them online and admire them in general that I find them annoying, like I should want one but definitely do not. Apologies to happy Neerup owners everywhere. Likewise, the pipes -- is it Antra? -- most of which have the little duck head hood ornament on the shank. Again, they are handsome pipes, but I can see myself snagging my clothes or upholstery on those little protrusions. I guess it is the pipes I almost like that leave me shaking my head. The ones I totally dislike are easily dismissed and forgotten.
I agree. I recently bought an MM Marcus because of the small dublin bowl but I added the 3 1/4” slim stem to it. Not quite a church warden but a cool flake smoker. Aristocob suggested the conversion.
And i don't like pipes that look like a dick.
Perhaps impolite to enquire, but I do wonder if if we're discussing the real deal "dick" or something just "dick-like." This then may place me by you in one or both categories, but to catch your meaning I assay so bold.
I own 3 Dunhill pipes. All three are group 5, LB's from the 1960's. I enjoy the classic shapes, they are good smokers and I paid prices I can live with. No they are not as good as my artisan pipes but they are not far behind. If I could find a 1957 my birth date or a 1956 my sisters date of birth(rip) I might go for one or both depending on quality and price.
Disliking stuff is my specialty. I try not to show it, but since this thread is all about disliking, here goes: Neerup, too much bling and curly swirly. Also they're front heavy. Winsløv, most of them look cheap and amateurishly designed.
Peder Jeppesen, Suhr, Nørding etc. All these danish craftsmen fail to make designs that look balanced to me.
Tom Eltang. His simpler pipes look stupid and his more elaborate pieces, although beautiful works of art, are simply not pipes. Sculptures maybe.
Anne Julie. Most of her recent pipes look like handmade chocolate bars.
Dagner. Don't like them.
There are soooo many, I can't come up with them all. Dunhills are classy, but too expensive of course.
Cobs. Ugly.
Castello goddammit. There are some nice ones, but they are few and far between, and very very expensive, when you hit the higher grades.
Hawkbills and eskimos. Acorns and tomatos.
I'm gonna take a break now...

In my old age, I've stopped hating as many things as I did when I first joined this site. I've become more open minded, courteous... congenial even. And, while you still won't catch me smoking one of those stupid looking, nasty, cheap assed, cobs, I've stopped slapping them out of people's faces who are smoking them. 
Easier to write what you do like?
BTW, I can not disagree with most, maybe all, of what you wrote.

I have to say: I thoroughly enjoy your clever Sense of Humor!
Turkish Meerschaum. Of the 5 or 6 I have owned, they all smell funny when they warm up, and add a weird mineral-ey taste to everything. African Meers don't seem to have this problem for me.
I also don't like people who mislead others with absolute statements like, "Meers are impervious to ghosting", "They never gurgle", or even "They will make you as badass as Lee Van Cleef". I am even Dutch, and nobody has ever mistaken me for a hatchet-faced badass.
