[QUOTE="PipesNTweeds, post: 281590, member: 2939"] Hello: I managed to get to my local B&M tobacconist today. It's a small (very small) shop that seems to cater primarily to cigar smokers. They have a couple smaller cases of pipes, though. There are to be found the usual suspects: Peterson, Savinelli, Dunhill, and a brand with which I am not familiar - Vuillard. I spoke with the owner and tried to gather some information. I pointed out to him that there seemed to be quite a number more Vuillard pipes compared to the other brands and the owner started raving/gushing about the qualities of Vuillard (including that they are made in St. Claude and therefore are true heirs to the briar pipe legacy... etc., etc., etc....). Long story short, I am not very familiar with pipes beyond the major makers and the more famous artisan pipes. Are Vuillard pipes really that praiseworthy? He claimed that the draft hole drilling is perfect on one pipe he showed me but I looked and it appeared to have blow out on the inside of the bowl and was not lined up with the bottom curve of the chamber. Am I just being too picky and should really give Vuillard a careful look, picking one that I can feel in my hands and inspect prior to purchase? Or should I forego the B&M and hunt for that first (pretty good) briar online? Thanks for all the time and help. Best, Michael [/QUOTE]
