Great post FnB and great pipes everyone. I had to put on the thinking cap for this one.
@pruss -Nope it doesn't surprise me so many Pete's making the list. They're classic pipes.

Six, you get bonus points in my book for consistency of form/style in your pipes, but playing in all 5 categories that Banjo laid out. I love seeing how you find nuance in the pipes you pick up within a specific form. Very cool.

Thanks Pat - much appreciated.

Is anyone else surprised by how many Pete's are making the lists?

They do offer perhaps the most classic shapes out there. Another reason why I like them so much.
Great pipes everyone - excellent thread FnB.

I'm loving this thread. Gentleman, all your pipes look amazing. I'll play along and show my old clunkers!
1. Most Elegant - I suppose the most elegant would be the pipe I just ordered and is on the way. Stefano Santambrogio

2. Most Perfect Shape - This was a hard decision so I'm going with two (hope it's not considered cheating) would be this Chacom & W.O. Larsen as far as shape wise.

3. Most Unique - Toss up again between my Micheal Kabik & Savinelli Linea Artisan so I'm going with the Kabik CHP-X Freehand.

4. Most Smoked - I suppose my Stefano Santambrogio Exclusive.

5. Oldest Pipe - Toss up again because I do not know their exact age but probably 1940's or about. This pair of KB&B Rocky Brair pipes and a Yello-Bole 3 Bore Carbarator.

Beautiful pipes as usual Bradley.

Most elegant pipe
I don't have an elegant pipe, so..... my Sav Autograph

Most perfect to form, here's a 1962 Dunhill Prince.

Most unique pipe, should probably be the Autograph above, a Ben Wade hand made.

Most smoked pipe, my Bonaquisti bent billiard, it smokes great.

Oldest pipe, not sure of actual age, near as I could find any information this BBB Natural Grain is from around 1915. Smoking Pipes helped with the age.

I love that Bonacquisti bent billiard -- I bet it has a very solid hand feel. Nice blast, too.

 

[captainsousie]

Really like that prince spike. It's a shape I never thought I'd like and now it's one of my favorites.

I love this pipe, is light weight and smokes like a dream. It is one of his earlier pipes, when he spelled his name Bonaquisti. He apparently added the "c" at a later date.

Pitchfork, your Salmon & Gluckstein is a beauty, a very old beauty.

Really like that prince spike. It's a shape I never thought I'd like and now it's one of my favorites.

Thanks, I love the shape also, it is a size 2, I wish it was a 3 or 4. Stig your Cris Morgan Bing is a great looking pipe.
