[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17944"] Yo, Greg Don't let yourself be suggested into assuming that the more expensive a pipe is, the better it is. 'taint so, Bro. The carvers and salesmen hyping this maker and that one would have you believe otherwise, but at the end of the day, it's briar, airway engineering and whatever else appeals to you. That last category gets real expensive and there are always people convincing themselves (and each other) that there's an element of objective validity to it. But with few and notable exceptions, an old Stanwell with a tweaked airway will blow 90 % of the trendy stuff out of the water. In the end, you're smoking pipes --not names and reputations. Really :D :face: [/QUOTE]
