I'm sorry, but, I am not following you. What is a Diamondback and what is a CG?
Prized Pipes
still have the first pipe I bought at the JR off I-95 in beautiful Selma, NC. A Washington cob from MM. actually still have the now jarred tin of OGS that I bought to smoke in it. this was late 2015 so still a bit of a greenhorn and have bought and sold several pipes since. took a long break from 2018 to last year so don't really have high milage on much of any pipes yet. should revisit this every so often
Ya know I havent had to buy a new one for a while. I'll let ya know next time I buy one.

Yes that pipe is great
Looks good, smokes good and surprisingly still survives after all these years
multiplied awesomeness due to fact that it found the right person to enjoy it !

This will sound corny but the only "prized" pipes are the ones given to me by a member of the old sight.
Trucker Chuck was well into his 80s and was slowing down his smoking and wanted to thin his herd.
He gave me a bunch of advice and sent a care package.
Five Peterson System pipes, Charatans Make DC, Celius Root Pawn, and a 1936 Peterson Billiard. Im pretty sure there were a few others but cannot think of them now......not very prized I guess.
But the 1936 Pete, the Charatan and the Celius are my favorite and most used pipes.
Im not even going to say how much ive paid for a pipe because that guy is gone. Ive changed my ways.
But none of the very high grade pipes I own are even smoked often. Not because of the price, but because they aren't that great.
