They have their fans. having an inexpensive pipe is a handy thing to have when you want to try out a blend you have not had before. No sense in "ghosting" a $100 pipe on an experiment. Corn cobs can serve the same purpose.
Filters?.... They put filters in pipes?
Ohhhh Tragedy.
Sorry guys, I just don't get the whole filter thing.

They make a good little working pipe just make sure it is not Brylon . The bits are useally made of nylon and they slip over a metal shank . http://www.smfrankcoinc.com/ybmd/medico/medicopipes.htm
I have snagged more than one great brand name estate for less than the price of a Medico.
Just takes patience and the instincts of a shark! LOL!

That's what I've been thinking as well...I should wait till I find an estate pipe for the same value to come along.
I think the weight of the pipe is measureable.
Medico pipes lack the weight (or mass) that a briar has...( I'll spend my money on different pipe tobacco's till then )....

they are what they are--i have three that are over 50 years old--the old wood may be somewhat better--
i enjoy smoking them--just finished some Balkan and then Oriental in a pair of them--good smokes--
are they as good as my Peterson?--No--would i sell or trade them?--NO!

I have a medico as well, it imbues a kind of plastic taste to me - I think I would try a corncob before I get one of those again.
I have a Medico varsity that is Italian Briar and brown blasted. I find it smokes great mind you I haven't smoked anything else but it hasn't discouraged me from continuing my pipe smoking hobby so as a beginner pipe I think it holds its own very well.
I have a 60+ year-old Medico that I'm currently breaking in. It smokes great, and I like the size, weight and shape a lot. Aesthetically, it is a disaster--countless fills, poorly fit stem, etc.
