Who's On Your Wish List?

[seldom]

If I had the money I'd go with Ken Barnes. I like traditional shapes and the grain on his pipes is outstanding.

With two young children I simply don't have the budget for a new pipe at this stage.

 

[autumnfog]

Ken Barnes, yes absolutely magnificent pipes.

 

[danimalia]

I'll try to keep it limited to pipemakers I could conceivably afford;

Scottie Piersel "Scottie"
Todd Bannard(?) The BST guy
Michail Kyriazanos
Fiamma di Re
Becker
A Blatter Canadian
More Radice and Moretti

Factory Pipes:
Peterson spigot

 

[danimalia]

Oh yeah, Il Duca, too

 

[burleyboy]

Besides of adding more Vintage Dunhills and Castellos to my Collection, I feel the slightest desire to get a sandblast classic shape from Michael Parks. Maybe some day...

I'd would absolutely LOVE a Peter Matzhold pipe. He is a carved that lives in the same area as family in Austria, outside Graz.

His pipes look absolutely stunning, and are so out of my price range it is hilarious. Here are just a few examples of his work:

Well of course Sante had a Matzhold, and it went for a reasonable price too. Did anyone here get this one?

I've been enamored with Walt Conoy's Suede Blasts, especially the black ones with white stems.

And, he has made some awesome bamboo meerschaum pipes as well, that give me pipegasms.

A little out of my price range, but I would love to pick up one of Jeremiah Mierke's Gumnut pipes. He owns Bullfrog pipes, I am embarrassed to say that I am just noticing that pun as I type this.

I have been very blessed in the number of artisan pipes I own. I have 22 Rad Davis, 10 Brian Ruthenbergs and a number of Bruce Weavers, Scott Thiles, Trever Talberts and others.

I was really lucky when I scored a Scottie Persel that was a full size bent Billiard as I am not a fan of her pencil necks. The pipe smokes brilliantly and I am proud to own it.

I am sure I will add other estates as I go along and there are many I pine for, I should add that I collect mostly No American artisan pipes as I lkke to support our guys and girls. I have my fill with the Danes and Italians.

I have multiples from Rad Davis, Ryan Alden, Jose Rubio, Martin Cermak, Alexander and Larrysson and his Son Paulsson. Recently acquired an estate Ruthenberg I'm impressed with. I'm so happy with the pipes from these files, kind of reluctant to venture elsewhere.

Rad Davis, which I discovered after multiple postings of forum members' Davis pipes on "What Are you Smoking."

Just got my first Rad for christmas. It rocks.

I'm hoping to buy my first artisan pipe in the somewhat near future. Of the makers I might actually be able to afford, I really like some of the pipes I've seen from Ryan Alden, Brian Ruthenberg, Bruno Nuttens, Jerry Crawford, Tim West. But I've only recently started to let my eyes wander over to the artisan pipes, and there are so many people making cool pipes that it's kind of hard to get oriented.

Pipestud has had quite a few ruthenberg estates lately for good prices. Wouldn’t be surprised if one popped up again there soon.
