I like the first one best as I am partial to Dublins. I think the shape is one of the best for smoking flakes and that particular one is great looking. I would suggest which ever you choose, to call the seller and ask him to look over the pipe and inspect it carefully.

The Walnut spigot for me too. I would shy away from the green stain. It could be a fine pipe, but I've heard that the green stain slowly disappears, leaving the briar a mostly brown, with a vague hint of green (not very attractive).
For some reason, I've never liked Dublins (sorry Harris!). From a purely aesthetic POV, the bowl seems disproportionate in the height when compared to the stem. But to each his own!

When you say look over the pipe, for flaws im guessing?

After much head scratching,and pondering between 1 and 3 my choice ( I THINK ) would be # 1

 

[tbradsim1]

#1 will give you a better smoke, taller walls on bowl will make a better smoker than the pot. IMHO. The old cajun

 

[foggymountain]

The first and third are the best. But if the spigot is really their walnut finish it will take quite a while to break in. I say get both of them.

Don't buy it then and instead pay off all your bills first, then give the sme amount of money to your local Food Bank to feed the needy, go back and load your baccy into your old favorite pipe and then you'll get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside and know you used your money well.

 

[dochudson]

hope this is serious...

 

[shaintiques]

That first one looks really nice if you are getting that particular pipe, if not I would go with the spigot.
