I can't speak out of first hand knowledge... But, Mario Grandi pipes have a good reputation among our members.
It seems that you can purchase a new one for around a $100.

According to Pipedia,they're a sub-brand of the makers of Mastro Beraldi. I've never smoked a Mario Grandi, but I own a Mastro Beraldi and it's an outstanding pipe. I did have to get the airway opened up (I could barely get a pipe cleaner through it) but once I did it has never given me a bad smoke.
I haven't checked lately, but I seem to recall that the inside diameter of MG's
tobacco chambers are a bit large -- like ~ 1". It will take some skill and
experience to keep the entire surface of the ember going. But that's not a
criticism, just an observation. After all, how do we learn if not by just going
for it?
