When I laid aside the nails and started smoking a pipe again - almost 11 years ago - I was budget conscious and picked up a number of Wally Frank pipes. Some were good, some were bad. Two of the better smokers were labeled White Bar.
I read somewhere or was told that most White Bars were seconds from Comoy's but others chimed in that White Bars were also made by Weber,(one of the great American production houses) and Jobey,(boasting a lineage as twisted as GBD).
Would somebody knowledgeable please weigh in?
Did the White Bar throw an umbrella over better grained WF pipes, (WF bought from everybody with a bin of seconds) or was it maker specific?
Thanks!
