New Pipe

mhajec

Ok guys, I want to buy a new Pipe before Autumn and I'm having a hard time choosing. My dollar limit is 200. I've been eye spying a few here and there but I always have a commitment issue when it comes to purchasing off the Internet  (my brick and mortar has a pretty limited slection, mostly Peterson Standard System Pipes and Savinelli's) without being to get a "feel" for them. So, if you have personal experience with a certain maker that you love, please share so I can make an informed decision. Thank you

I can't really say anything about a maker, I normally go for what draws my eye and I love petersons. If your buying online I prefer smokingpipes.com because they take individual pictures of each pipe they sell so you can actually see it not the stock photo of the best looking pipe of the bunch like pipesandcigars.com does with a lot of their pipes (not all). Also the customer service at smoking pipes.com is amazing and any time I've had to deal with them it's always been great, primarily asking questions or have been the victim of more than one person purchasing the same pipe at the same time and I lost... It happens.

@drac2485 I actually was just on that site eye spying a Peterson Summertime Fishtail. Very beautiful with a nice stem to accent.

Yeah like a lot of those pipes I've been eyeing one of the summertime series as well. It is a beautiful pipe

@mhajec, check out my IG page, @badassbriars. There are a ton of makers on there who are in the $200 range and most will even do a comission for you.

Also, @mhajec and @drac2485, I have the X220 in the summertime pipe. It is a superb smoker. You can find them overseas for much cheaper than in the states and it includes 2-3 day shipping.

@pipeprofessor over seas, as in, European sites?

I'm already following you on IG, but I'll pay more attention now
