I was looking at Mark Tinsky pipes and was reminded that they have a hideous, generic star on the stems. To me, this looks cheap and reminds me of those tacky star tattoos people used to get in the 2000s.
Personally, I would have loved to buy one, but that star on the stem disqualifies them for me as I would have to look at it every time I smoke it. However, I did consider getting one and sending it off to George Dibos for a replacement stem.
We all have personal preferences, so what pipe makers or pipe brands are disqualified for you and why?
