I’d say it’s my Peterson Dracula 106 my wife got it for me right after my diagnosis

I have three that we're my grandad's pipes. All of them are great smokers. He was kind of an ass, but a hard man and a great bunch of stories. I love those pipes. A BC prince, a Dr G Royalton, and a Stanwell Brass Band Dublin (which spurred me to attempt to collect all the rusticated Brass Band pipes).

I also have a Turkish meer that a buddy bought while stationed in Turkey, and later gave to me. The pipe is nothing special, but my dad scrimshawed an Eagle, Globe, and Anchor on it. Not his best work, as he's getting old and shaky, but at the time it was the only artwork of his that I owned. We are both old Marines, so it is definitely sentimental.

3rd and 7th Falcons from the left were a matched set I received from a favorite Pipe Smoking Uncle for my High School Graduation near 50 years past.

I think this is my favorite in my collection. It smokes well as a CAO Bekler should but I'm partial to the beautiful carving.
I found it in an antique shop for $99 but haggled the guy down to $85.
