I've been meaning to get around to buying one of those beautiful new Kaywoodies. I will soon, they seem to be a great value, with a good dude running the operation.
I don't have any dreams of owning expensive pipes, but a good price on a quailty product really turns me on.

Our of curiosity, who is your avatar? I've wondered for awhile.
What do you mean? that's me..
Nah.. It's William Conrad, a great actor and pipe smoker.
I remember him as being in lots of roles on T V but probably best known in the detective series, "Cannon." Also in Jake and the Fatman.
I never knew, while he was living, that he smoked a pipe.
This is an educational forum......
Conrad was also the voice of Marshall Matt Dillon in the Gunsmoke radio shows, a great series now reprised on Sirius radio. The old Richard Hacker pipe books contained pictures and text on his pipe enthusiasm and his impressive collection of Charatans.
Tatsuo. I would gladly buy about 3/4 of everything I see that he has made. But they start at $400 and go up from there. Maybe once my cellar is where it needs to be I'll go there. Priorities.
Cannon! In color! (A Quinn Martin production.)
Pepperidge Farm remembers!
Jiminks owns a couple of his pipes and posts pictures in the "what are you smoking" thread.
Well, I'm not interested in brands necessarily, but there is one pipe I would like to own... either a Mike Bay or Wojtek Pastuch (the only two I remember seeing making this kind of pipe, though I am sure there's others), but the pipe in question is specifically a slightly bent apple with that Eltang style rustication in a dark stain with the contrasting bowl rim... with or without bamboo shank. It's less about brand and more that specific look/style.
I don't really have the money at the moment for one though.
But basically, this only in a slightly bent apple shape. This particular example is Mike Bay:

I want a Dunhill and have found a few good deals on some estates but never pulled the trigger. One day soon though I will.
No particular maker or manufacturer on my wish list. I'm always looking but it is the overall appearance, coloring etc that decides..... and of course, price. 
A humongous gourd calabash. No particular brand. Just a very expensive one.
I've had my eye on a few pipes from Chacom and Rattray's. Still haven't pulled the trigger. I have plenty of pipes as is.
I think it would be fun to have a Radiator by H. Wiebe, but bowls seem to be unobtainable now.
Someday I'd like to have a nice meerschaum: I've seen some very classy ones here, and I'd also like to see how they smoke. Plus, our 7th grade teacher taught us that word, for some reason I can't remember.

I have Savinelli on my short list. They have several variations of classic shapes that I'm drawn to. Not exactly extravagant, but I'm less than a year into pipe smoking. All I have are inexpensive briars, and a few corn cob pipes from Missouri Meerschaum.
I’m gonna throw a Nuttens Mini bing into this thread as well. They seldom come up on the sites I frequent, and I was cautious about ordering direct from Paris due to the shipping. So I dipped my toe in and ordered a tamper from him. It arrived at my door in less than a week and well packaged even thought it was just a tamper. A beautifully crafted briar and horn tamper in a leather sleeve I might add. Hope to snag bing off his website and have it shipped or see him at a pipe show soon.
I was looking at the Parker pipes, I love the rusticated or sandblasted Dublin models. But I don't know the quality of these pipes. Also in the not too distant future, I have to buy a pair of Meerschaum.
