[QUOTE="Hunter5117, post: 121908, member: 799"] Just my opinion, but I think pipe quality is a very subjective thing. Yes, I enjoy buying a pipe that is visually appealing, in fact I guess I would not buy one that is not. But, it doesn't have to be a high-priced one to make me happy. I have a few high-ends, and more than a few mid and lower grade pipes. Some bought new, many were estates. I have acquired some inexpensive but really great smoking pipes like Stanwells based on recommendations from the fellow BoBs here. Mostly it is about the smoking. My neighbor smokes one pipe at a time, a Dr. G or whatever he buys at Walgreens, and once it is burned out he gets a new one. I don't know anyone who enjoys his pipe more than he does. PAD can be a harsh mistress for sure. I have done well to stay away from Ebay lately. I am sure it will come back and bite me again sometime soon. You almost gave me a recurrence with your post, that is one VERY handsome pipe, I debated at the NASPC website for more than a few minutes before I passed on ordering one. I am very sure you will enjoy it once it arrives. [/QUOTE]
