For an all artisan made pipe, with attention to every detail from bowl to button, you can't beat the price. He doesn't cut corners with cheap injector molded stems, or machined stummels like a lot of pseudo-artisans. The work is exquisite. I can't recommend them enough. But, keep in mind that if you are ordering online, without the benefit of seeing and holding his pipes in person, they are heavier and a little bulkier than most pipes you may be used to. The pictures can be a little deceiving, especially if you are not expecting it. But, that is a part of what I love about the pipes. You could use them as weapons if need be, ha ha.
