I'm looking to hear people's thoughts on your regular stock pipes ($50.00 range pipes that you walk in to your local tobacconist and they have sitting on display with no maker's mark) as opposed to the named pipes (Savinelli, Il Chepo, etc) and other artisan pipes that are so sought after.
do you prefer one over the other? does one smoke better than another? just as good? A pipe is a pipe is a pipe so long as you are smoking?
Most of mine are your regular stock pipes that I've picked out because they fit my hand well, and I like the traditional aesthetics of them. As far as smoking, the number of artisan pipes that I have smoked, the stock do just as well.
Thoughts?
