[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 70136, member: 509"] As a guy who makes pipes, and being absolutely BENT about making good smokers, I agree with PuffDaddy by and large. 150-250 in a handmade should guarantee you get a well engineered pipe made from good materials. There are exceptions - you hear about the occassional stem that is too restricted, or some issue with fit and finish, but by and large, 150 bucks on a handmade will buy you a pipe that smokes as good as anything out there. OR maybe another way to say it is that while there may be some "super pipes" out there, the average smoker is not going to find the hint of balsamic onion or whatever the flavor nuance is supposed to be. I think part of how well most pipes are judged in their performance comes from the individual who owns it, as well. A guy who likes the tighter draw of a Kaywoodie with a stinger in it is going to be shocked at my large pipes which are drilled at 11/64. They FEEL different. Is one better than the other? Well, I think so, but I'm not going to argue with anyone about what they like. [/QUOTE]
