as you look over your pipe racks is there one brand you seem to have more of? maybe it is all brands from one country you have more of? so who fills your racks?

Had planned on buying a Becker and a Tinsky but I showed links to em in chat one night and they were gone the next morning. I think Carlos or Dock bought em, ya know their pipehounds. Very Happy

I have 24 "nice" pipes in rotation, plus 8 "Others" which are work pipes, and 1 meer which is a novelty.

Of the 24, I have 5 Castellos, so that represents the highest single maker there, but of my 8 work pipes 4 are Stanwells.

I haven't inventoried my accumulation of approx. 200 pipes in quite a while. DHs, Meers, GBDs (firsts and seconds), and Savinellis probably make up the four largest groups; a dozen, or more, of each. Then we have the onesies thru (?) fivesies. Ashton, BBB, Barling, Bertram, Caminetto, Castello, Colin Fromm (Handmade), Comoy, Charatan, Curt Rollar, David Barnes, Eliot Nachwalter, Ferndon, Fred Garlinghouse (late of Frederick G Pipes), Hardcastle, Loewe, Kaywoodie (two 1940's unsmoked), Longchamps, Mark Tinsky, MF&L, Parker, Petes (including one Pete meer), Sasieni (including a 1920-21 one-dot), Ser Jacapo and James Upshall. Then a hodgepodge of Dr. Plumbs (my first pipe!), Grabows (second pipe), Savorys, olivewoods/cherry/maple woods, various Italians (some quite forgettable!), my wonderful clays, few odd-ball German pipes (seldom smoked), Irish Seconds, several old WDC/CPF etc. amber-stemmed pipes (briar and meer), the obligatory calabash (amber-stemmed and meer-bowled!), plus other no-name (but excellent smoking) briars. I know I'm forgetting some; but this is close!! FTRPLT

A few years back I used to buy mostly Ashtons and that is still reflected well in my collection as the third most numerous brand. I haven't bought an Ashton in six or seven years. By far, my collection has more Castellos and Dunhills than any other brand. Funny thing is, these are not even my favorite brands...

Right now, the operational rotation, the one that I use most often every day, is strong on Petersons (6), 8 KWs, and 5 Ropps Now, it may change slightly as i rotate in a few more Petersons and 5-6 Custombilts, but not much after that change.

I have more Wilke briars that any other pipe. Others include Stanwell, Savinelli, Stevenson and Charatan among others.

My main pipe rack holds 125 of my Bonfiglioli pipes and in the other racks I have 25 more Bonfiglioli pipes. By the number of his pipes it is easy to guess that is my favorites. I do have other special pipes in my collection which include Tonni Nielsen, Ardor, E. Andrews, Von Erck, Rinaldo just to name a few.
