I love clay pipes, I own a Lepeltier which is one I use the most.
I noticed the Dutch Zenith pipes which are clay also and which looks interesting as it appears to be the oldest pipe maker still in production with its roots back to the XVIII century. They look similar to the Lepeltier being double walled and with an ebonite stem. On images they look nice. They are more expensive than the Lepeltier. Anyone has any of them, are they good, how do they compare to the Lepeltier if you have both? Also the current ones are still made in Netherlands or, as I heard, in China?
