[QUOTE="JensDK, post: 523266, member: 4271"] I agree with you. Of course you can objectively make out criteria for high-end pipes, and surely I can appreciate a piece of fine craftmanship. But when it comes to smoking, high-end isn't [i]always[/i] better than low-end. Years ago I owned a beautiful rusticated Winsløw. It was a real beauty, but it felt heavy and unbalanced, and the conic bowl walls made it impossible to get a good taste. On the other end of the scale I recently bought a low-end estate pipe from Comoy's Everyman line. I barely feel it when holding it between my teeth, and I've rarely ever tasted a better mixture than in this pipe. [/QUOTE]
