[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 109708, member: 509"] Fumo, there is a law of diminishing returns as regards "how does it smoke". I'd say that up around the mark you are already experiencing, the Italian mid-grade mark, you are seeing pipes that smoke as well as anything, or maybe there is some final tier, but it's not like some other pipe is going to smoke "50% better" (whatever that might mean) than your Radice. Buy a misdrilled basket pipe made from cheapo briar, and you WILL find a pipe that is 50% worse! Now, I mentioned "serious custom high end" and I meant it. You can order a pipe custom tailored to your own preferences for shape, finish, bowl size, stem material... etc. Whatever you want. And you can do it between 200 and 500 bucks. You'll get a pipe that has been so carefully built and finished, and all out of the very best materials.... the thing will blow you away. Ruthenberg, Askwith... these guys are building very good pipes from all reports. Now, you won't be offered a strange 50% cash discount, and the pipe won't have the magical white dot. But if what you want is a wonderful smoking instrument, then you are better off talking to Tinsky, anyone named Davis, or any number of other small-operation pipe makers. [/QUOTE]
