[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 236177, member: 1969"] ...however... If you know what you're looking for, and can find a briar basket pipe ($30 cheapie/bargain pipe at an actual tobacco store) that's drilled satisfactorily (right draw, draft hole in the right position in the bowl) and has a good stem (mortise/tenon meet with no gaps at the end, draw isn't too constricted) you can end up with a darned good pipe for not much money. Even when you're not new any longer, often it's luck of the draw no matter who you are. Best case scenario, you can find a maker/carver with enough consistency that matches your pipe smoking style so you won't have to grope around in the proverbial dark. If they're not expensive, so much the better. Todd Harris (taharris) around here carves my best-smoking pipes, and they're reasonably priced. What a world, huh? Almost too many choices. Welcome to the fun! :lol: 8) [/QUOTE]
