[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 235596, member: 1969"] Sure. You're far more seasoned in experiencing these side-by-side than I would be. I don't have many "good" older pipes to really say. I'm making a generalization only with the way the producing world tends to plan and execute their wares. I do know my "budget pipes" I've found at junk stores, sometimes with name, sometimes not, are likely were not "top shelf" pipes in their day, let alone now, but they have a bit more attention to detail and seem more sturdy when used. They also seem to take a little more abuse (or they just like it). This new Brebbia, the one with the "evergreen stem" is a classic example. I have been giving it a strict diet of Union Square to see if I notice an improvement--time will tell. Bought it new, pipe was made just a few years ago, but its performance just isn't like my old Noymer leather bulldog, which has been used a bit, wasn't cut particularly pretty and can have breathing problems on a muggy day (maybe the leather). 8) [/QUOTE]
