[QUOTE="MartinH, post: 152825, member: 1494"] Harlock, I appreciate your response. So, here is my follow-up question. I am really getting the "collector bug" when it comes to pipes, less so with tobacco. However, I want to invest wisely, especially if I buy anything other than a beater pipe. How do you chose a pipe? I generally go for bent and straight billiards. I tend to really like Preben Holm and Ben Wades, either straight grained or rusticated. I go by look alone, and is what worries me. I am pretty sure that Preben Holm and Ben Wades are good brands, but how do I know that I'm getting a good smoker, going by looks alone? I think I'm also going to break out my better pipes more often, so I can enjoy them more, so I am seriously looking at spending a small amount of my tax return on a Holm or Wade. I guess I may have answered my own question, go for the brand you like, and then the looks that appeal to you? Is this the right approach, or can I still get duds this way? I guess I don't want to invest in a $120+ pipe and be disappointing in how it smokes. Oh, have you ever been to the Bisgaard-pipes.com website? I am pretty impressed. Thanks! Martin [/QUOTE]
