[QUOTE="puros_bran, post: 269635, member: 10"] Yak once gifted me a pipe that laid on my rack and drew as many comments as the Castellos, and danish one offs. He probably paid $15-20 I cant remember what his "cut off" is.. You know why it wasn't a $500 pipe? It didn't have the right name on it. Well actually it had an old prestigeous name on it, just no one recognized it as such anymore. As soon as some forum 'leader' or 'recognised authority' or 'expert' on pipes utters a word about a brand the price goes up. Kinda like the Hudson Hornet.. before the Pixar movie Cars nobody cared, after the movie their prices doubled, tripled, and quadrupled.. I'm not a low brow snob. I am glad that guys have their one offs by the recognized artist, I've owned a few. I'm glad there are high grade factory, I've owned a few. I'm glad there are mid tier price high quality pipes, I've owned a few. I'm glad there are baskets and cobs, I've owned a few. [/QUOTE]
