Favorite Single Pipe?

[sparrowhawk]

I'm back, after some difficult med problems in the dead of winter, so the question isn't original and I'm sure must have been touched on elsewhere. But in the classic scenario, if you were tossed off a ship onto a one- acre island surrounded by hungry sharks, what one factory pipe would the pirates allow you to take and allowed you to choose? (OK, so I'm embellishing.)

I've discovered my favorite to be the Peterson Waterford 106. It is a rare type for Peterson, because it's a pipe rendered down to the essentials:smooth, no blasting or rustication, and the trademark band is absent. And it is my perfect smoke. This is the pipe Marcus Aurelius would choose if pipe smoking was done in ancient Rome. I need to get a second one so this one has time to rest.

I'm pretty sure that Marcus Aurelius would prefer an Italian pipe, dontcha think?

 

[sparrowhawk]

Good point. Got me!

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Ha ha, but I could see one of the Henrys smoking it while watching their wive's heads roll.

Nice pipe. I don't have just one pipe that would make me forsake all others. Don't hate the playa, hate the game ::

I don't have just one pipe that would make me forsake all others.

Yabbut, you have to in this scenario!
New wrinkle. The abductors now say you can bring one additional pipe- or two- at the cost of one testicle per.
So, whaddya bring??
Me, I am going to stay with the one pipe.

You guys... and your rulz. Ok, If I could only smoke one pipe on a spit of land in the ocean... it would be my Giant Ardor bulldog. No reason, I just figured it could double as a mallet or funnel if needed. It's a nice pipe. ::

Difficult Question, but I guess I would go with my Savinelli Ivory Bulldog. But more importantly: What would I smoke unless said deserted Island does happen to have some wild growing tobacco on it?^^

Out of the pipes that survived my last culling, I'm going to go with this one.

*disclaimer-no Weavers were harmed during the last culling

Oh, gosh, that's tough .. hmm... Ad factory pipe too. I'm going to go on the inference that it strikes out things like true Nording freehands, in which case I guess it'd have to be one of my Savinellis, though which one I'd have to struggle with. Probably the Autograph giant, just in case I needed to whack one of the sharks in the nose to keep them in their arena & me in mine!

I purchased these three pipes at "A La Pipe du Nord" in Paris last September. The one in the middle is mine which is my favorite pipe. The other two I gave to my son and son-in-law. The whole experience of roaming around the pipe shop and talking to the owner is what makes it my favorite...plus it's a good smoker.

Rinaldo bulldog, if it's gotta be a factory pipe.

 

[jpmcwjr]

I love it when that happens. Why I have such a nice connection with my Blatter & Blatter pipes, my Milville, a few Petes and all my artisan pipes.

 

[ashdigger]

Factory? Easy.... Peterson Lestrade in Natural finish.
Artisan? Easy.... any one of my Aldens.

Has to be my Rattray's Bog Oak, for a whole host of reasons.
