Thanks Petes03!
The Wayne Teipen pipe in particular is like caramelized black velvet sweet smoothness with Latakia.

1986 Dunhill, all the experts somewhat diss the Dunhill after 68, but this one sings and it ain't a bad liking booger.

Beautiful Dunhill Bradley! I don't know about everybody else, but personally, I'd like to see a pic(s) of your whole collection!

Bradley,

that's a beautiful Cumberland!

I don't know about everybody else, but personally, I'd like to see a pic(s) of your whole collection!

Me too!
You have so many nice ones, and many are the big boys on the large pipe theme, I like that.
What would you say is your most "magic" pipe?
I agree with Fred Hanna about the myth of brand,

magic briar can be from anywhere, regardless of "pedigree",

but man oh man do you have a fine fleet of mighty stallions made by some damn fine makers!

This Amorelli transforms anything into bliss, it's not a real beauty till you start puffing on it, hate to smoke it a lot as it will spoil you,

Mine is an older Peterson Donegal Rocky Billiard with a P-Lip and a Silver band, shape 6.

Well, all of my pipes are for latakia blends but for special occasions I go to the Dunhills. The top one was my grandfather's and I believe that it is from 1932 or 1933. The bottom one is a Red Bark and is from about 1976 or so.

My three billiards are all English-dedicated, but my favorite by far is my Stanwell Sixtus 224. Smokes dry no matter what, and it's a gorgeous pipe with a wonderful feel to it.

Not exactly a billiard, but this one's my favorite for latakia mixtures: Ashton Pebble Grain XXX.

I like the pot shape for English blends (and a smaller prince for the really heavy latakia stuff), but for billiards I think my Castello smokes every bit as well as my Dunhills. For some reason it smokes Nightcap like a dream. I really think trying each pipe with different blends can lead to some great love connections.
