Favorite Pipe Duplicates

Peterson POTY 2019.

I own 5 pokers.

Have you been so enamored of a certain pipe brand that you got a second copy of it? For instance, I liked the Peterson Waterford so much (no longer made, sadly), its simplicity and classic lines that I got a second one. By the same token, I purchased a second Peterson 106 Derry with spigot. Any of you do the same?

Here I thought it might be strange to get three duplicates...

 

[sparrowhawk]

Never have.

Say, you wouldn't want to let go of any of these?...

I've been know to chase certain shapes.

Say, what are these shapes called? I'd like to check them out.

Zulus!! ?

Do cobs count?

Wrong configuration, more like bent dublins. No forward canted chamber and a conical chamber where a zulu has a cylindrical one.

Yep

I just read a watch collector's blog on "The Hunt". He said that is what differentiates a collector and an accumulator. I was definitely actively engaged in The Hunt for pipe shapes on my list.

I have several Savinellis that I liked the shape of to get at least one more with a different finish. Mostly their Qandale and churchwarden shapes.

Same for me & the 614. I've got 4-5. Comoy's 409 bent bull is another like that. I must have at least 7 of them around somewhere.

Olk, I'm not sure he knew you were yanking his chain. ?

When I bought my two sets of two similar same-brand pipes, I thought I'd overdone it and would get tired of the duplication, but instead, it is always fun to smoke one or the other, and sometimes the same brand/shape pipes in a row.

 

[bullet08]

I don't collect. I buy pipes I'll smoke, enjoy, and put away. Some shapes are just comfortable in everyway, and I just purchased multiples of them.

This reminded me of my Sherlock Holmes Squire that I loved dearly before I lost it in a move about 15 years ago. A single tear is rolling down my face as I type this.

I’ve always loved the Dunhill LC, but had no silly dreams of ever owning one. I commissioned an updated rendering of it from Gustavo Cunha. It’s an amazing pipe, my best smoker...then...about a year later, an amazing friend of mine (who happens also to be Brazilian! How neat?) sent me his 1950 Dunhill LC. Now I have a Gustavo LC and a Dunhill LC. I couldn’t be more surprised or pleased! I feel very fortunate and humbled.

Plenty of duplicate cobs but my briars tend to all be different to some degree except for my Dr Grabow smooth Royalton. I liked it enough to get two.
