Knowing NOTHING whatever about it, but relying on my friend Dave Whitney, "aged" briar smokes better. Certainly smokes better than Brylon. There are other...
I only have a handful of high end pipes in my collection, so I'd pull the trigger on a $300 pipe. Best - Jeff Sent from my iPad ... [Non-text portions of this...

Whereas I would love to have a truly high end pipe, I would have to pull the trigger on less expensive pipes, because of the budget. However, my collection is...
Brethren, Believe it or not a mid priced ($300) pipe does indeed smoke differently (read better) than a $100 pipe. Without going into the curing of the briar...
Such a product indeed exists! Right off the top of my head I can think of: Mark Tinsky - http://www.amsmoke.com PIMO - http://www.pimopipecraft.com Pipe...
Well, I'm puffing on a three-decades-old Andrew Marks pipe of Algerian briar he bought in Europe back around 1969 or 70, and it's still swell. I'm all for...
There's a lot of truth to these words. I've purchased everything from Jobeys, Stanwells, and low-end Savinellis to pipes that cost more than my damn Mac, like...
Once again, true words and great point. Some of my pipes are older than I am, but I wouldn't trade them for just about anything. I have a good number of older...
One $300 pipe - time to upgrade. Jud ________________________________ From: JohnO <jkofferdahl@...> To: pipesmokers2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday,...
Yeah, I will go with the $300 pipe as well. -MO From: the_narghile <the_narghile@...> To: pipesmokers2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2013 8:52 AM...
There is a saying that, "One pipe makes a pipe smoker, two pipes makes a collector". Interesting idea, and I DO agree that once you start in this hobby, PAD...
Well, certainly I'm a pipe smoker, and over the years have become somewhat of a collector. Before I really knew anything about pipes - brands, shapes, sizes,...
I'm really a pipe smoker. I've got a bunch of pipes. They tend to be classic shapes. While some of them are better known brands (a couple of Stans, a Comoy, an...
I'd buy 3 $100 pipes. (You didn't say new or estate so I'd probably buy estate pipes.) This would motivate me to cull some of my other pipes. If I smoked a...
Well now, pipes must be rotated, so at least two are required for a pleasurable smoking experience. I prefer Italian and English briars, leaning heavily...

thanks so much for that info; I'll surely put it to good use. Feel free to visit my website and my blog and learn more about me and what I stand for. My...
I've heard it said that if you have more of something than you can use then you're a collector. I don't have anything nice enough to be collectible, i.e., each...
And that is why I call my assortment of pipes an "accumulation", it really has no limits other than what I run across, try, and like. Of course that is in...
I'm a pipe smoker---but I have close to 100 pipes. I guess if I see it and like it enough, I buy it. I have only 4 pipes that were $100 pipes---most were...
Yeah, I especially like my Charatan apprentice pipe and some Jost pipes. I bought them used and I can see why they were well used but kept in good shape -...
Why do some pipes come with a stem that has a hole too small to run a pipe cleaner through? I have, let's say, less expensive pipes and I'm too lazy to sell...
Most pipes I've seen that have stems with airways which are too small have been either cheap, basket-type pipes or Ascortis and Wileys. With the nicer pipes,...
Ye, quite often; its works well on strait stems. Even slight bents can be done CAREFULly, coming at it from both ends. Use a cheap hand drill and set of bits...
I have a Medley (GBD second I've been told but ???) Canadian. Easy-peasy short stem. I really like the pipe. I have a BBB with 2 openings in the stem....
This topic got me to thinking, I only have one pipe which I considered whether or not to buy. A really nice Eric Nording freehand, which was in the $80.00...
I'll like to add my thoughts on this dottle:  First and foremost, I AM a pipe smoker!! There's no doubt about that.  Naturally, I also acquire pipes so...
Ron, Im with you hear. I smoke all my pipes (some more than others.) I have bought whole lots to just get one pipe. I do give some away as well as tobacco (I...
