[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 521691, member: 1690"] This sounds simplistic, but with me, it's the grain. Workmanship, materials, engineering, and artistry are a given. Only a pipe with those attributes plus superior grain is a "high-grade." For example, I don't consider most Castellos to be "high grade" when the grain is pedestrian, which is usually the case. It's kind of a I-know-it-when-I-see-it thing. A pipe that for lack of a better term is a true high-grade makes me drool. They tend to be double the price of the same pipe with everyday grain. I own exactly none. [/QUOTE]
