[QUOTE="scottbtdmb, post: 90049, member: 1043"] I concur about modern straight-grains not being high quality. I have only been smoking a pipe for a year now, but have already decided to collect only sandblasted and/or rusticated pipes. One pipe-maker though whose straight-grains I respect highly would be Philip Trypis, who inherited a bunch of 200 year old Algerian Briar from his grandfather. Though Trypis is not very active these days, some of the stuff that he has put out over the past 30-40 years has been phenomenal. I have only one of his pipes, but it is a giant bent straight-grain and not only smokes like a champ, but the briar is very high quality and the grain is absolutely gorgeous! [/QUOTE]
