[QUOTE="D'Artagnan, post: 42378, member: 418"] If I go by price and looks alone, my highest grade is a Le Nuvole stubby Dublin I paid a few Franklins for. Great grain, smokes well, hard to clench, a little on the heavy side. Got a couple L'Anatras with great grain that cost me some Franklins. Excellent smokers both, love the duck head staring back. But my highest grades are the drugstore brand pipes I inherited from my dad, which he smoked for 40+ years with complete disregard. They are full of dings, scratches, rim burns, tooth marks, and he smoked nothing but drugstore aromatics in them...but they are all spectacular smokers. LL's got 2 of them for refurbishing, and I have about 10 more to send him after that. I could get some money for the Le Nuvole and L'Anatras on e-bay or a trade; probably squat for my dad's, but I wouldn't trade them for the world. [/QUOTE]
