Imagine ...

[peckinpahhombre]

you will be stranded on an island for all eternity. The island has limitless tobaccos of all types. You are told that you may bring only one pipe, and you can choose it from all the pipes in the world. Which one would you choose and why? A picture of the winning pipe would be nice.

You can also take along one member of your preferred gender, but I'll save that thread for another website.

Hello? Anna? You around here? Wanna go surfing on my little island? :face:

Edit:
Now that I have returned from Walter Mitty land, and by the way, I could have taught him a lot. The pipe I would have with me can be found here, the Horn Yuriy posted on May 5.

The chance of me successfully posting an actual photo is only marginally better than me actually surfing.

As it is just the one pipe I am taking it would have to be a Meerschaum so I can use it more often than a Briar, I'd have to be real careful so it doesn't get broken but that's no hardship. The stem would have to have a more solid fixture to the stummel than the usual shoddy Meershaum fixture and the pipe would have to be a straight pipe, I prefer Bulldog shapes to some degree so I feel my ideal choice would be this one:

Well, maybe a Falcon or Kirsten. With the interchangable bowls resting the pipe isn't a problem, and the rest is aluminum so unless you're using it as a prybar or breaking coconuts with it ,,,,

Hey, taking spare bowls is naughty, no fair, no one said we could take spares, hmmmm, then some replacement stems would be in order if we can take spares,

Eternity, I am told, is a long time. Can you grow corncobs on this island? Seriously, I would want something sturdy. A Peterson system pipe comes to mind. Or a Savinelli 616. It would have to have a vulcanite stem; I have snapped off too many acrylics by dropping them just right. But just one, you said. I think maybe if it came down to it, I would choose a Dunhill LB or this doppelganger, since it's the only one I have a photo of. It's a Dover Deluxe, made by Comoy for Leonard's Pipe Shop of Portland, famous but no longer extant.
