[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 163051, member: 509"] I think it depends totally on what sort of investment you seek. Italian pipes with acrylic stems "last" with no maintenance, basically, so you are likely to get a good looking pipe that isn't all chewed up, simply because of the stem material. Pipes with rubber stems (English and American) will often look green and horrible, and if you can clean them up and polish them, you can get a good deal on a bad looking pipe that needs some TLC. I don't think there's any rules about what makes a good estate pipe - any pipe can be abused to death, and any pipe could be left in a drawer in mint condition. Budget is another factor - there's a huge difference in a 10 dollar estate Wilmer and a 600 dollar estate Tokutomi. [/QUOTE]
