Dunno. Is Dr. Grabow still a player?
@El Capitán Bought it at a local flea market. About 80-100 years old and got it broken within a week:-(Didn't you get the first one?
Grabow Omega?
Peterson and Savinelli are both contenders as well.
I wonder if companies would give that information upon request.

I wonder if Laudisi Group could answer that question ??? ... based on their records or access to records ?
Uncle Freud wants to know how your willy is
My guess, based on no information whatsoever, for briar/last ten years, would Savinelli Bing.
Saw this at the Grabow site:
This isn’t a model by model breakdown, but they are making 200,000 pipes a year. Perhaps this could be a starting point in figuring this out.
I also found this blurb on the net, but I was unable to access the site from which it came:
Also found this at smoking pipes in regards to Savinelli:
And finally, here is what I saw about Missouri Meerschaum:

It used to be 1/2” copper, but that has been deposed by 1/2” PEX. Not sure which brand leads the pack, though.
At the time of that interview, 80,000 was the figure. That was several years ago—I believe the current numbers are closer to 100,000, based on more recent writing at smokingpipes.
Clays and Cobs would be my guess, followed by cheap crap briars, followed by quality briars, followed by meers
I hope not. I hope that nobody's life is that empty.
Like so many things in life, inexpensive outsells expensive.
Without actual sales figures from the manufacturers this is just pointless conjecture
Especially if we are talking about specific shapes/models
A manufacturer like Savinelli makes numerous lines and finishes.
And several variants of their popular shapes eg billiards (straight or bent - full bent, half bent, quarter bent ? Long shanked, thick shanked, Bing.
Smooth, blasted or rusticated ? )
Ditto Peterson.
Corn cobs would lead by a country mile is my guess
But sales broken down to reflect the various shapes ?
You will have to contact MM cobs for that information
