For some unexplainable reason, i consider this pipe to be one of if not the best looking pipe I own! And it almost doesn't have any silver...

Gorgeous pipe, my friend.
I've had a couple of these over the years. First one was a Collection pipe that caught my eye due to the wild shape and gorgeous blast. However, for whatever reason, i found i didn't smoke it often enough and eventually released it back into the community.
The second one is a more recent purchase. I picked it up upon the news of Luigi's passing, to honor his legacy of craftsmanship. I thoroughly enjoy both the aesthetic and the practicality of this pipe and smoke it relatively often.

I bought this in 1998, as my bride’s birthday present for my turning 40 years old.
It gets smoked about 2 times a year, nothing but various years of McC CC, and has always performed wonderfully.

I love Bulldogs and horn stems.
This was a no brainer

I bought this Viprati Collection Silver Dragon 
B pipe last February
The first is the photo from the retailer.
The rest are my pictures and I have not done justice to the pipe.
It is a HUGE pipe with 360 straight grain, birdseye at the bottom, with a painted dragon in the asymmetric volcano shape

Great smoking smallish 4 clover bulldog. Not sure what the stem material is, but it's very soft. Certainly not horn.
Oh the reason is very clear to me - because it has a wonderfully symetrical and well apportioned grain. Not too big, not too small, just right!
Compared to some of the pipes in this thread, mine is nothing to write home about:
