Visiting the local antique store today, I picked up a Brewster pipe marked "never smoked" (which I have no reason to disbelieve) for just under $9 with tax (which seems to be the going rate). Obviously, three bowls into the break-in period is too soon to make any judgement, but so far it's quite satisfying - it draws nicely, and is surprisingly cool.
I do have a question, though. I've seen it said that all Brewsters were made in a single lot in 1964, and was wondering if anybody can confirm that. Not that it makes any difference, really, but there is a bit of a thrill to know you're the first person to use something that's nearly 50 years old.
