I have multiples of two artisan carvers, Jerry Perry of Colfax, N.C., and Mogen Johansen of Denmark, and multiples of factory brands from Savinelli, Peterson, Nording, Stanwell, BC, Chacom, Ropp, Kaywoodie, Rossi, and of course Missouri Meerschaum. I probably left someone out, but that's a snapshot. I have artisan pipes, singles, from Bob Hayes of N.C. and Les Wood (Ferndown) of UK.
My friend, all those beautiful pipes and not one Molina. Hang your head in shame. ha ha

Peterson, around 70, the first “good” pipe I bought, over 30 years ago.
And before anyone takes it wrong, I think that's one handsome mug on that Meer!
The most of one maker is Blakemar Briars followed by Peterson then Salvinelli ?

I have 2 Savinelli pipes. Everything else I have made. I’m super popular with myself.
It's a tie between W.O. Larsen and Missouri Meerschaum
There are only a few brands that I have two of and the rest are just one offs. Peterson, Royal Danish and Butz Choaquin. Three MM pipes.
The "factory" pipes that I have the most of are Hilsons. Just the antique lines or briars. I don't care much for their bakerites or meerschaum lined pipes. Then, it is tied between Beckers and Dan Chlebove pipes. I kind of stopped chasing Beckers when I found out that his son had been making them for Paulo. It sort of ruined the pixie dust for me. But, Dan makes a damn fine pipe.
I have a Tinsky I commissioned, but that’s it for artisan pipes. Otherwise, just a bunch of midrange factory pipes with a Savinelli lean. And cobs, of course.
Now that I’m done with large tobacco purchases, I’ve got my eye on some higher end pipes. I’ll probably do another Tinsky commission, maybe a Castello. But I love Savinellis, and like the classic simplicity of the Punto Oro finishes; I see a few of those for me in the near future.

Even after thinning the herd a bit, Peterson still is king by far at 25. Runners-up: 7 Savinellis,5 Ashtons , 5 vintage Dunhills. After that it’s ones and twos. Maybe an occasional 3 (Ardor).
The most common carver I have in my herd is 8 pipes by Julius Vesz.
