[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 521708, member: 2318"] At one time, the answer to the “high-grade” question would have been, “Charatan,” They were well-made, expensive and the first pipe to beak the $100 barrier. Whew! $100! There is a way to objectively define what the term means at this point in time — Look at X-number of instances in which the term is used, spoken and/or written. Then deductively put together a definition. We’d likely find the use of the phrase varied among makers, users, collectors ... And words change meaning over time. They’re not static. But that’s typical for the process. As Elvis said, “They said you was high class, but that was just a lie.” [/QUOTE]
