[QUOTE="pipedumb, post: 23035, member: 377"] I agree pipe making is becoming a cottage industry, but I disagree that they are engineered better than mass produced pipes. I could argue that the drugstore pipes are better engineered. Albeit over engineered at times. I believe [i]that[/i] was the Golden age. The Drugstore pipe era ain't over yet! Artisans today are getting back to the basics: Quality over quantity which certainly marks the beginning of a NEW era. But, where their predeccesors erred in over engineering (gimmicks etc.) I think some pipes being carved today are overly artistic. I think it is the golden era for pipes, (but not for pipesmoking) [i]because [/i]we can choose from mass produced or from the individual carver. To keep the drugstore pieps alive we got to buy them. Same for the artisans. So mix it up Gents and enjoy. Tom[i][/i] [/QUOTE]
