[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 204189, member: 2318"] Maybe the closest I come to Holy Grail pipes are my Pete 408s. To me, if there's a pipe in Plato's Cave, it's a 408. It's not too big, but not too small, just sllightly bent, and available in smooth and rough finishes, fishtail or Pete mouthpieces, sterling silver trim or plain jane. It's a handsome pipe in any iteration. None of mine are the least bit cranky, handle all kinds of tobacco with good cheer and admit a pipe cleaner all the way into the chamber. I think I have four 408s, not counting lookalikes from other manufacturers. I have a very nice lookalike from Phil Trypis' workbench. Otoh, when I ask a visitor which of my collection of 50+ briars they might like best, they seldom pick a Pete 408, but a couple have pointed to the silver trimmed Trypis version. [/QUOTE]
