Which pipe?!

[burghbriar]

That amber stem is sweet.

I dig the Rosslare, something about the stem jumps at me...I usually don't like colored stems, but that one works well with the light colored bowl

It is a highly subjective thing, but I would go for the Flame Grain Pipe #80,

and would definitely NOT buy the one with the light orange stem...

Your call!

The Flame Grain would be my first choice because of the beautiful grain, but the Rosslare is a close second because I love the stem. Any of those three would be a great pipe to own. The Dublin would be a collectors choice due to the rarity, but being rare doesn't mean a damn thing when you are smoking it.

Peterson Flame Grain Pipe #80 Fishtail fr sure!

The third, from Joe's. One thing though. Joe's does not update the pictures when they sell one of a similar group of pipes, so the picture might not be the actual pipe for sale. You can ask them if it is. Personally I got so annoyed from getting a different pipe than I ordered that I have stopped buying from them. I hope they read this and take a little more care with sales, which they are taking for granted. You are being lazy, Joe

I always talk with Melisa at CoJ about any pipes before ordering.. she will send you a complete set of pictures and spec's of the pipe you will actually be getting. I suspect that doing it this way you kind of get the pick of the litter of what they have available.

I would have to say the rosslare

hehe - PAD strikes again!
Those are tough choices. I also like the Rosslare, but the other have awesome grain. For me, a Bulldog strikes me as requiring a black stem - it's a Victorian-age pipe and black just suits it IMHO.
So my choice would be the Cup O Joes. Let us know which one you pick.

Sent an email about both pipes!

Melissa looked at two of the flame grains from cupojoes and they both had fills and the second one had a pit near the shank. The rosslare from sp ha no pits or fills
