[QUOTE="Dock, post: 86998, member: 33"] Larsens are all over the board as far as quality goes. You can buy models for less than seventy bucks and spend up to several thousand bucks for a Pearl. Stamped straightgrains accend in quality from 1-10. This system has no rhyme nor reason wahtsoever! I've seen and owned gorgeously grained #3's and almost poorly grained #7's. The factory's pay receipts would read as a virtual "who's who" of Danish pipe makers. At one time it seems that EVERYONE has worked for them. I would steer way clear of their cheaper models. A Danish made Stanwell rivals them in fit, finish and smoking qualities. I have owned many but kept just three. One would be that Jess Chonowitsch Pearl billiard that Jim mentioned. I find most to be overly heavy in weight. Their value also seems to go waaaay up and waaaay down. They have this in common with the Barling pipe in my opinion. One day they're hot and one day they're not. Here's pics of mine: [IMG]https://2img.net/h/i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd193/DockJPerry/Pipes/CellarPics008.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://2img.net/h/i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd193/DockJPerry/Pipes/NewPipePix9016.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://2img.net/h/i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd193/DockJPerry/Pipes/MorePixs016.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
