[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 494293, member: 1211"] I've had tens of gold stamped, older Acortis. Great pipes. On the estate market, generally very good value for your money. I wouldn't pay $200, even for a numbered Simmons bulldog, but in that $50-75 range, it's difficult to get a better pipe. I own a couple of pipes made by Jacono, and they're great smokers. High quality craftsmanship, too. I love his rustication, but I don't care for the propensity to make them with smooth tops. I just don't care for dual finishes on a pipe. I feel the more traditional shapes are better looking than his more freehandish designs. I owned a couple Beckers back when, and I didn't think a lot of them. Thank goodness trading was fast and heavy. Get 'em. Don't like 'em. Move 'em. Decent smokers, but dainty shanks etc. In my opinion, overpriced. I also owned a few Il Ceppos. Again, quality craftsmanship. A little busier in design than I tend to like, but always quality. Decent smokers. I don't know what the market is like for them, but as a general rule, I wouldn't pay more for one than an Ascorti or Jacono. I forgot to mention Mastro de Paja. I've owned several of those as well, and I would put them in the same league as Il Ceppo. Decent smokers, but nothing special. Nice craftsmanship, but too busy for me. [/QUOTE]
