[QUOTE="Jevverrett, post: 566267, member: 3706"] I’ll have to start looking into those brands, price wise. I’ve been a bit reluctant to dive into the old estate market on eBay and such, bc I don’t think I know enough about what I’m looking for there. I know most of them have sweet spots for production eras, but not what they are necessarily. Furthermore, I can’t help but think. If those old pipe companies were so great, what happened to them? And I agree on the dr grabows. When I started smoking back in like 96/97, I swear they were better made. No filter, half and half all day and, no pipe cleaners. Never had an issue, until about 2011. I got three or four in a row that would leak from the joint about halfway through the day. And by that time, my daily was macbaren Scottish mixture. (I swear half and half changed when they started selling it in the pouches btw) I think that Brigham pipes are the closest thing to how the older grabows handled themselves. Obviously, much better finish. But the weight and smoking characteristics. [/QUOTE]
