[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 447968, member: 2318"] I think the title of my thread got us off to a bad start. My fault. I wasn't looking for personal advice. I was looking to make a helpful resource for the "sophomore" piper trying to add to his rotation. If he's in a B+M or has just gotten a package from an e-retailer, he has to make a buy or give back choice. So what should the pipe buyer look for? Examp: In my experience a pipe that has thick walls and seems light for its size is usually a good bet. Some would affirm that the only way to find a good smoker is to smoke it. Hard to argue with that, but what clues would you look for BEFORE forking over your dough as a predictor for making a good choice? I agree with the "trusted brand" advice for new and estate pipes. But what if an unfamiliar brand is in the mix? I've seen pipers aplenty disassembling pipes and sifting through the pile to tilt the odds in their favor. Those guys must be looking for something. Again, sorry for the puzzling start. My bad. [/QUOTE]
