In my experience they are a bargain grade pipe, just above the basket, or wall pipe. They can still smoke pretty good though! Link below to pipedia page;

I have Carl Weber's book. You should look for that too. Interesting read and next to no cost in paperback.
I got a weber pipe for cheap in an ebay win a few weeks ago. I cleaned it up and now its honestly one of my favorite pipes. Not only does it look amazing and have PERFECT grain, but it smokes great. I havent heard anything else about weber pipes, but from my experience they are great. If you can get it for cheap I would say go for it.
I have a Weber from the 70s (it was my father's). The airway is TINY; I can barely get a pipecleaner through it. Fills and spots abound. I think hnryclay is absolutely correct in his assessment of the brand.
bbauer, I'm a bit skeptical of your claim of "PERFECT grain" on a bargain pipe. Pictures!!!

Could be his idea of "perfect grain" differ from yours. From what I've heard and read, 360 degree straight grain is most commonly considered "perfect" because of it's rarity. My idea of perfect grain would total coverage of nice tight birds-eye. Straight is nice but kinda boring to me,birds-eye seems to give the grain motion or something. Very pleasant to look at.The pipe that came closest to perfect grain for me was an old Yellobole squashed tomato looking thing.With the thousands of pipes made by the various factories,some of them were bound to have,if not perfect,some very nice grain. I have a few.
I've heard several good comments about how well the Webers smoke.

HAHA ok well I guess I would agree that "perfect" is really in the eye of the beholder.... but this pipe has better grain than most of my other pipes. I tend to prefer any grain that is really uniform and nice and sticks out. I guess that this wouldn't be "perfect" but I sure enjoy looking at it. IDK... I posted a picture. let me know what you guys think about it.
I'm sorry I'm posting this after two years. My experience with Weber pipes is very good! I was very lucky to have purchased a Weber Royal Band as my very firs briar pipe. It smokes better than any other pipe I've had over the years, including Savinelli, Peterson's, and even Dunhills. Currently I own about eight weber pipes.
I try to buy Royal Bands and Deep Grain, I think they smoke better than other pipes such as the Filter Smoke. I made an exception about two months ago and bought a small Weber Weskit. I was not surprised how well it smoked.
I have a webber deluxe author sandblast that was my grandfathers. It's in my regular rotation. Great smoker. Nice draft, stays cool and dry.
