[QUOTE="stapf, post: 411319, member: 3666"] My local shop has started carrying pipes by a brand new carver. I really like 2 of the pipes, but I have a hard time spending more than I've ever spent on a pipe before on a brand new carver. What should I watch for besides drilled properly and passing a pipe cleaner. Both pipes look great, but I know that doesn't necesarily mean they will smoke great. I did find that one sold and the person reported it smoked well (not one I'm looking at). However one smoke doesn't tell the story always good or bad. It may be that I'll just have to take a chance or not, but if anyone has any insight on judging the quality other than looks please let me know. From the looks, if his name was built up, the pipe would be at least twice the price. He is a local anesthesiologist who loves woodworking and decided to make pipes. He won't disclose the source of his briar and doesn't smoke himself. [/QUOTE]
