[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 395327, member: 2244"] EVERYTHING Greg said in his reply is some VERY SOUND advice !! I'd only add that pricing of a pipe and whether it is WORTH the price asked is truly up to the person buying the pipe and their pocketbook !! As far as the wood, decades ago, it was more of a practice to age briar BEFORE it was made into a pipe as well as more OLDER wood was avilable back then!! Back in the late '60s early '70s when I was doing most of my pipe buying, it was not uncommon that a pipe from GBD, BBB, Comoy's etc would have been made from 100 yo wood and I would have paid a moderate price for it. Sadly this is NOT the case today other than a few producers but sadly the pricing has gone up for this. As far as Dunhill's go, my opinion is that the current pricing for their products is INSANE!! You can fins Savinelli high grades that are as good if not BETTER than Dunhill's ( they are not even Dunhill's now, rathher they are called White Spots as Dunhill no longer sells tobacco releted products! :twisted: ) at easily 1/2 the price! But again, price is a personal matter ie "... one mans cieling is another's floor" ! Take your time, do some more research and buy more pipes !! :twisted: :twisted: [/QUOTE]
