What are your favorite factory pipes? For me, it used to be Savinelli due to price and quality until I got my first Peterson which has quickly become my favorite.

Quality would be Savinelli.
Price would be Kaywoodie. And the quality is NOT far from Savinelli to be honest.

I’ll add that there is such a large variety to choose from with Savinelli. I have yet to attain a Kaywoodie, I didn’t realize how affordable they are.
Missouri Meerschaum for cobs. Savinelli and Peterson for briar.
Good pipes and designs at decent prices.

Yup. Checkout greywoodie.com if you haven't yet. Fantastic prices, quick shipping, and some of the best pipes I've ever had. They are no cheap Dr Grabow, very great pipes.
Family Era Barling pipes, which haven't been made for 60 years. Per war Comoy's ain't half bad, nor Charatans, BBB, GBD and Sasieni to name a few others.
For current factory brands, Brebbia has my vote.
My Brebbias are amongst my favorite pipes to smoke.
I was surprised as I bought one on a whim. But, it is easily in my top 5 among my old Loewe’s/DBL/artisan pipes.
My favorite pipe is a Peterson so they get my vote.
Castello then Radice. I have two Brebbia that smoke fantastic, definitely a best value champ.
I'm a huge fan of old Britwoods, so I will have to second @sablebrush52 's choices - Barling, Comoy, Loewe, GBD, BBB, Charatan, Sasieni
To that list, I will have to add Dunhill
Of the rest of the world - Stanwell's Danish era pipes.
Even their second lines were of great quality from that era.
And for their affordability.

Try them all. One that makes really great pipes that is never mentioned: Chacom.
Dunhill, because they more frequently get the shape of a straight billiard right.
I really like the Peterson brand. It speaks to me in a way Savinelli does not. I have a strong attraction to old Kaywoodies too.
Old factory pipes: WDC, Kaywoodie, Lee, Weber, Marxman, Grabow, Mastercraft, EA Carey
New factory pipes: Nording, Stanwell, Savinelli and Peterson
The truly best factory pipes ever, were WDC.
