I suggest you go to Reigels and look over what they have. With three stores to choose from right there in Ft. Wayne they should have something that strikes your fancy. They used to have a wall of estates with some real beauties and good prices. Tobac out the yingyang. If you like latakia ask them if they still sell a mixture called Thee Blend. If you like aros their Saturday Night Shag is good too, if they still carry it.
I recommend a Peterson with fishtail bit.
Jobeys and Falcons are great pipes and won't put you in the poor house.
I've got 18 Grabows and wouldn't sell or trade any of them. I went through a lot of Grabows to find them. Trashed a few, gave some away, traded a few but kept the best ones.
Whitehalls and Kaywoodies are good too.
Why am I not mentioning Dunhills? I can't in good conscience. I've had two and neither one was worth a darn for smoking. Great for looking at though.
Crappy luck? Probably. Too many people like Dunnies for the two I had to be typical of the brand.
