Over the years I’ve ranged from 50 to 12 and back again. Currently I have about 30. For the past couple of years I have gravitated to mostly smoking my meerschaums. But I love my Briars as well.

Meers
1 Altinok
1 SMS
3 Ural
1 Koncak
2 Unnamed (one is my favorite)

Briars and Cobs
3 Petersons
2 Dunhills (gift and flea market fons
1 Wiley
1 Roush
1 Loewe Co Antique
1 Radice
1 Spanu
1 Ben Wade
4 Savinellis
2 Mt Batten
2 wonderful basket pipes
Too many cobs
2 Cellini Originals
1 Old Town unsmoked
1WDC antique
1 Orlik Captain Black
And I’m forgetting some…

I’m really into my Meers right now…

I'm a few weeks add a meerschaum to the list, so 3 briar 2 meerschaum and 2 cobs.

Around 50, but there's a few rarely used cobs and birchwood churchwardens in there. Around 40 briars, I think.

UPDATE: Since posting the above, i obtained 3 more pipes, 2 Peterson B 10s and a small meerschaum, giving me a total of 9. I ordered a 9 pipe rack, which came today. But now i have an empty 7 pipe rack. So I must need 7 more pipes, right?

I would be lying if I said I didn't get my last 6 pipes and a lb of baccy simply to fill an antique 6 pipe stand/humidor I picked up on eBay when some silly seller accepted my ridiculously low counter offer?‍?
Silly but couldn't help myself. It looked all sad sitting empty.

I've wanted a Scotty Piersel for a while. Very different from my usual style preference, but I like the gracile look.

I had too so I traded a few handfuls of good but under smoked pipes for one of her authors. Great pipe.

30+ and closing in on 40 briar. Plus 2 meers, 2 cobs, and 6 "spare" brand new cobs to grab for a new blend or share with someone intrigued by the craft.
At least 10 of them (briar) I haven't smoked yet, several of those are brand new, although most were pre-owned.
I've got the PAD, but it's an acceptable issue now as I'm learning that some of the best smokers (for me) are sometimes the ridiculously inexpensive ones.
Also learning which particular pipe characteristics seem to work with my smoking "style" or cadence or whatever, but as time goes on I find that I have problems with fewer and fewer pipes. (Could have something to do with my improvement and understanding in my tobacco preparation.)
Down the road I'll cut out the ones that are average or less appealing to me and let them find new homes. I already have a 7 pipe rack that is accumulating those that may move on sooner rather than later. And I already let 3 of them go that no matter what I did I just couldn't get an enjoyable bowl out of - in exchange for a brand new basket pipe. A little nose warmer that was hand carved because I can see it's out-of-round, but it's rather cute and I hope I find a tobacco it loves. Most of the new ones are waiting for something special to happen ...

I have around 20 pipes. I'd say a dozen of them get smoked with some regularity but the rest just kinda sit there collecting dust. It's not that I don't like them, they're just kinda shitty pipes that for the most part don't smoke as well as the rest of mine or were restoration jobs that didn't turn out quite as well as I'd hoped. And then one gigantic Armellini pipe that has a weird ghost and doesn't necessarily smoke all that well but I can't bring myself to sell/trade.
