Greetings all:
I've read much hype regarding the well engineered Icarus & Neptune pipes. Neerups seem to be as well regarded - perhaps more so for their artistic shapes and finishes. Both appears to be machine fabricated and hand finished.
I suspect we have members who own pipes from both blenders. I would appreciate your feedback. Is one better than the other in your experience? About the same? Does one smoke any better than the other?
For my eye, I like the Neerups but I've been considering an Icarus, Neptune or one of the new BriarWorks Classics. On average, the Todd and company's lines are lighter but then again, they appear to be small pipes.
Opinions welcomed.
