Winner will be announced shortly. This could take the staff of The Briar Patch as long as 7 minutes to declare a clear winner. Stay tuned.

...to paraphrase Mr. Gump, "ugly is as ugly does"... still not sure what that really means...

Everyone has at least one pipe that makes one scratch their head and wonder how such an abomination got into their collection. So, now is the time to let your ugliest pipe shine with the first The Briar Patch First Annual Ugly Pipe Contest. Since I am a moderator here I am disqualifying myself from the competition. However, here is my ugly pipe and it is the undisputed winner of several of these contests, so I'm retiring it from active competition. This is a Harcroft made by Preban Holm for Dunhill, who owned Harcout in an attempt to garner some traction in the freehand pipe market in the 1970's. It was a Christmas present from my brother sometime around 1974 or 1975. I thought I would show you just how low the bar is for this type of event.      The staff at The Briar Patch will determine the "winner" and the prize is the 2017 POY set from Missouri Meerschaum. The contest will close on February 14 (Valentine's Day seemed appropriate). So let's see your ugly pipes and show them proudly. I think Preben was testing to see just how much he could get by them. This pipe is intentionally designed to be ugly. But somebody bought it, so what do I know? |

Harcourt Brace and Jovanovich used to print textbooks...I remember delivering to them back in the day, I remember that for the most part the staff that I saw looked like Manson family members...the dregs of society and they were writing textbooks? That might be a Timothy Leary inspired piece of briar, John. Those were probably members of the Bookbinders Union. I always thought that they were drop outs from the side show. |

I have nothing even close to compete with you guys. I would vote for John's monstrosity, but since he's recused himself, would have to go for Scrooge's, er pipe thing.
I am now going to find some chicks in bikinis to look at.
