I've been trying to look more at the pipe itself when out or on eBay instead of just the name. Now I'm not saying brands don't matter, I believe they do and in fact it's those good names I have been checking out their seconds. I started noticing that there are a lot of older seconds from London made (usually) that IMO look great, amazing grain and blast (yes and it's a second so sometimes a small fill or two) and good looking classic shapes. So I was wondering what are some solid English seconds to be looking for. Here are a few I picked up. A House of Lords (Sasieni Second I believe) with nice ring blast and a Regent Straight Grain which I have no Idea about.
