Kashmir, I'm determined to have a set of Dunhill's just like yours someday. Is the the little middle one a cumberland stem? Is it black cumberland!?

Wow. Some stunning pipes guys. I'll throw my small collection into the mix, saddle stems all. From top to bottom:
Stanwell (picked up from Brian Walker, purchased by original owner in NY in 1950s, no nomenclature except the logo on the stem)
Digby London Made
Birmingham Sand Blasted - Real Briar with removable stinger (part of an estate lot, any info on this pipe appreciated)
Also have a NOS Stanwell Bordeaux (51) in the mail from sp.com as we speak. Classic English-style billiard.

lostandfound reminded me that I have been remiss in posting here [hangs head in shame]. 
I am a huge fan of billiards as many of you know and I regret not having the time to gather all of my pics - but here's several of my favs (I hope it's not too many for one post). Each of these is an excellent smoker. :

My 1962 Dunhill:
My Dunhill ODB:
My Dunhill Bing (a very generous gift from our own Foggymountain!)
My Wilke NYC:
My 1940s Dr Grabow (technically a Dublin, but whatever...):
My Stanwell Sterling Series Billiard:
My '50s Barclay-Rex:
My Ferndown Bark Billiard:
My Maestro de Paja:
My L'Anatra:
My Stanwell Bing (designed by Tom Eltang):
My Savinelli Square Panel Billiard:
And one of my favs, a Peterson Rosslare Royal (technically a Dublin, but once again, for me - close enough!):
Finally my Spigots (which may not technically be called "billiards" but for me, they have that classic shape):

Yay, Billiards! Not a boring pipe in the bunch. Here are a couple that yelled at me for being left out earlier...
a Comoy Specimen Straight Grain:
A quite old Charatan Super DeLuxe. I'm not sure it's really a billiard, but it's not quite an apple, so it seems to fit somewhere between:
One of my fave Castello #10s:
Finally, a Castello Collection slightly stacked billiard. It's the most boring of the lot, but it smokes so beautifully that I give it some slack :

Thanks, six. That stack is a special one. I've had several - it took a while to get just the right example, but I finally did it. At least for now. You never know what's going to be round the next bend.
That Mastro is a real gem! It and the Ferndown really caught my eye.
Be seeing you.

Greg, I see nothing boring about that pipe ... to my eye, it's absolutely gorgeous and a pipe I couldn't have possibly resisted had I seen it before you did ...
