I very briefly owned one, but I discovered a crack and had to return it. Oh well...
What Pipe Brand Don’t You Own But Want To?

noo and yes. I generally like some pipes by pretty much all makers and feel moderate towards most of their offerings and most have a pipe or two I wouldn't smoke if it was my only pipe. Kind of like how I feel about types of ladies and genres of music.
ikebana. I will never pay that much for a pipe until I win the lottery, but a boy can dream...
I’d love a 9mm filtered Peterson with a P-Lip.
I would like to have a Savinelli Autograph pipe
Thanks for adding more insight to this fascinating pioneer of the art.
There are a few artisans that come to mind but are beyond my price range. Silver Gray and Doug Finlay namely.
Price range or not, however, I will one day hopefully own a Peterson Supreme System. My Pete deluxe systems are my best smokers, and I would love to see that engineering combined with Pete's aesthetic best.
That being said, I really like my pipe collection and there are only a handful I am considering selling. I've gotten to the point where I know what I like and want with my pipes, and also to the point where I have far more than I need. PAD is a bitch.

Good answer. I normally am not a fan of that style of pipe. But they have a high number of pipes I'd happily smoke and play the read the grain game.
A Tom Eltang smooth with that wonderful Eltang finish.
For some reason I never owned a Radice until recently. Now I think I have at least one of every marque that ever interested me, so "none." Wait...maybe Barlings, the real ones. Dammit, there's always one more.
I love Castellos and have more than a few; they smoke so well. Same with Cavicchi pipes. But I have always wanted what Peck showed us years ago on this forum, the Michael Parks Long Shanks collection! Wow, but more than I can justify spending -- and that's keeping in mind I buy the odd Castello

Having said that, the man has great taste
A Bo Nordh if I could ever afford the down payment.
Off the top of my head the obvious choice is Castello, one of the only brands on the market that drills an open and easy draw stem.
Problem is they've garnered such a reputation that Castello is the new Dunhill and the idea of spending that much money on a pipe with just an oversize factory air channel is ridiculous when it only takes me an hour to drill and polish the airway of any budget pipe to far haigher standard.

Brand? Ya, well, I suppose it would be Castello in a 55 shape. I agree with G.L. that these are a nice shape.
Other than that, I'd love to have a pipe from one of the Great Danes, or one of our own, home grown pipe makers. There are a couple/few whose pipes are always special. Quite a few, actually.
I don't recall seeing anyone mentioning a meerschaum producer?
Where do you get the best of these?

Mine at the moment, would be a one dot Sasieni.
