Flashy Pipes: Not Your Grandpa’s Billiard

[Mantis_Shankman]

This is the showoff thread. Show me gaudy, flashy, colorful pipes. Your Miami Vice pipe that you would smoke on a yacht in a Hawaiian shirt and white Gucci Loafers. I’m talking the border-line sleazy, guilty pleasure pipes.

I don't have any, and now I really want some, so...thanks for that. Looking forward to seeing what people show off.

You just described nearly every pipe I've ever owned excluding the Dunhills but that problem has been taken care of. Traditional pipes usually won't turn my head.

That Rad Davis is fantastical. I love how his Rhodesians vary.

Nothing screams “guy that just bought a boat” to me than a magnum. And baller accents.

I prefer traditional shapes. Werner Mummert would go broke were he catering to me alone. However, I do have this one:

I have an orange “the pipe” brylon billiard. I’m too embarrassed to post a pic, but it fits the style of the Hawaiian shirt yacht wanker type perfectly.

Hmm, I might have another one, but not sure the Quixx fits into the extravagant category:

Mummert does unusual carvings from time to time.

This Skip Elliott Osage Orange is rather Kewl.

Oh man, that looks a lot like Magritte's painting. Just put it on a plain, sallow surface and... voilà!

Bought in mid-70s when I got my first paying job and it was legal to purchase ivory objects. Worst drilled pipe in my experience. I keep it as a reminder that all that glitters ............

This is the most gaudy, flashy, colorful pipe in my collection.

I think that is a WW2 era Tsuge with an ivory bowl. It originally had an ivory stem as well...is that the original stem? The stems are prone to cracking. A fairly rare pipe!

 

[BROBS]

Are these pipes a proud boy like the OP would smoke?

 

[shanez]

I literally don't know where to start. This could take a while.

Nice Pipes! These absolutely blew me away. I had no Idea this forum was full of so many Pipe-Peacocks. Most of my wacky pipes come from Instagram Pipe makers. Here’s a couple of my fun ones.
