[QUOTE="Dock, post: 41098, member: 33"] I received an e-mail from a fella here that's been smoking a pipe for a short time and wanted to know why certain pipes are so much more expensive than others. In short I responded that the carver's reputation had alot to do with it along with other factors such as thin handmade stems, an amazing sand blast (ala' JT Cooke) , the scarcity of a perfect straightgrain and how much a certain pipe maker's pieces are in demand at that time. The old "hot pipe of the moment" perception is very real! This fella's question is one that I've been asked a hundred times and everyone's answer to it is so totally individual. It would be very neat to hear how some of the folks here would answer it.... What do you think makes an expensive pipe expensive? [/QUOTE]
