[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 488201, member: 1690"] Well, I went and done thought this would be difficult. Out of, say, 60 pipes I own, there are 45 that I love, smoke very well, and wouldn't want to part with. Putting my mind to it, though, I narrowed things down to this formula: a.) what's my favorite shape? and b.) which one is the best liked of that group? Answer: straight billiards, first, last, and always. Of the two pipes below, I thought the Dunhill LBS would have the edge. My preference is for sandblasts. But I think I like the Jesse Jones, acquired through the generosity of Kyle Weiss, just a bit better. Once it develops a heavy patina, I'll like it even more, smooth patina being my second favorite look. This is the only pipe I have dedicated to Virginias. (Needless to say, writing the above seems like treason to other worthy pipes. There's a phrase for this: invidious comparisons. Ah well, they'll get over it, the sobs coming from the rack will subside, and life will go on.)
