[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 299790"] Bottom Line : IMO, I suspect "emerging makers" (and the more impressionable among their clients) are persuaded that they're in competition with the pipes (and makers) at the center of the buzz created by the Buzzmeisters (less charitably, the Hot Air Balloon. Not so much that they aren't often astute judges, but they're fatally prone to Band-Wagoning enthusiasms). Granted, "give the public what it wants" (or thinks it does) is never a bad business strategy. But again IMO, they aren't. The pipes they're really in competition with are marked "Savinelli." And even "Genuine Imported Briar." People who do that, and clearly come out on top, have my undivided attention. To the extent that anybody cares (if any). :face: [/QUOTE]
