If you are looking for a decent pipe on a budget, I have found what seems to me to be a pretty good little find. This is "a Savinelli product," a Florence 626. I picked it up at cup-o-joes in the under $50 section. I only paid $30 for it. It is lightweight, nice for a light clench, and it smokes great to me. It takes the 6 mm balsa filter or the non filter adapter. Anyway, in my humble opinion, this line of pipes may be a nice option for a beginner or someone just looking to add to their rotation.
