That is a tough one to answer, for me. I have been blessed to have been given a few pipes, over the years, which are highly prized in my collection, but this one stays in my guitar room in a domed display case.
Given me by Luigi Radice to celebrate his 80th birthday. One of only one made by Luigi himself. A gift that was finished while I visited the Radice workshop in 2019. It rarely gets smoked, but when I do it brings back so many incredible memories.

Very beautiful pipe and nicely spoken
I just set back and look my racks over, and I can't really choose just one. In my smoking style, it would be impossible to keep enjoying smoking with only one pipe. But, as I look them over, there are quite a few that I could live without, but I have no wishes to just chunk them in the trash... yet.
My "Draft Horse" is a craggy 1961 shape 127 Dunhill Shell Briar with a longer stem and a somewhat worn rim; always with me.

That’s very cool, but it needs to be displayed showing the other side so that it reads “80” instead of “08”!
It wouldn't sit on the hanger to display it the way I wanted, as to show the 80......
Oh my, that wind cap is incredible.OK ! I’ll play
First this pair of Barling motor domes

Yes, I know the OP specified ONE pipe.
I’m wracked by indecision
Off Topic:
Yes. My dad was a Purple Heart recipient after being severely wounded in combat in the Battle of the Bulge. He was a retired Army officer and went to TCU on the GI bill. First in his family to graduate from college. Every day was a bonus to him. He and my mom had 8 children. My other favorite quote of his, when one of my 6 sisters was gabbing in his ear as he listened intently: "If I don't listen to her, she will find a boy that will." I never forgot that while raising my own daughter.
I only keep a 7-day rotation and have sold off the rest, so it’s easy to look at them and decide. It would have to be my Peterson 313, a gift from my brother.
I find that if you are patient and put the time in with any pipe (or thing) and learn to live with it, it’ll be something you eventually couldn’t imagine living without, value aside.

When you get there I can forward you the address of a good disposal site

Yeah, Sobr can send you my address since I don't charge a disposal fee.
I'd probably grab my Baki calabash.
My most prized, and the one I’d grab if I were planning on smoking in exile would be two different pipes.
I think my most prized is my father’s Sven Lar 1FS, a very Danish badass American pipe.
The pipe for a grab and go would probably be my Peterson Short Army 102.

And yet you covet so well
100%! I've been eyeing that 102 so much recently and have been trying to track one downAnd yet you covet so well
Yeah, I said I probably would and a currently regretting not grabbing your 102 smoothie.100%! I've been eyeing that 102 so much recently and have been trying to track one down
Speaking of 102’s, I still think a Silver Mounted Army would look good on you…
Yeah I regret not grabbing my own Short Army 102 but even more the rusticated 102 since I have a smooth Short Army 87.
Silver mounted would look good on me but is a little long for my face
Truly my most cherished pipe. It is this Stanwell, the first briar pipe I ever bought.The second briar pipe was the first pipe, Peterson, the one in my forum profile picture, given to me by a good friend and fellow forum member, Dan the Dutchman. When I was going through a bad patch. I will always be grateful to him. By the way I don't see him here anymore. God bless him. ![IMG_4003[12136].jpg](https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/data/attachments/333/333306-f2fcda8b493347ae535ccdedafa3ba8f.jpg "IMG_4003[12136].jpg")
