[QUOTE="Gumball, post: 269793, member: 1714"] Buying pipes on a budget has not been a problem for me. I come at it from this angle...a pipe is primarily an object to facilitate the smoking and enjoyment of tobacco. Sure, I want a pipe that looks nice, but putting a match near something worth £200 just doesn't sit well with me :D I was lucky enough to find an honest eBay seller who trades in both handmade pipes and also refurbished estate pipes, all at what I consider to be reasonable prices. And of course Peterson do a range of good pipes at affordable prices. There is also the option of buying a pipe from a local maker if one exists, and as long as they are not at the artisan end of the marker you should be able to snap up some good briar without burning too big a hole in your wallet. The great thing about pipe smoking is that a guy with a £500 pipe can sit next to a guy with a £50 and smoke the exact same tobacco. [/QUOTE]
