[QUOTE="WarneOut, post: 584872, member: 5415"] I've decided to get a couple meerschaums before taking an extended break from pipe buying. I don't really know anything about these brands, but they seem to be set in different price brackets. SRV has lots of options in the $100 - $200 range, Altinay has lots in the $200-$300 range, and IMP seems to be largely $300+. My question is, does price correlate with quality of pipe here? Does IMP use better quality meerschaum, or engineer better pipes, or do they just put a higher price on their labor? I'd love to hear some input about these brands (or others) before I spend any serious amount of money. With meerschaums especially, I'd rather have fewer high quality pipes than many lower quality pipes, so price isn't the biggest concern, but I don't want to go straight for the most expensive ones before knowing if the price tag is worth it. Thanks guys [/QUOTE]
