$200+- budget for new pipe... Ideas?

[colorduke]

Buy cobs and use your money for pipe tobacco.

If you don't see exactly what you are looking for on Mark's site.. Call him.

Or spend $100 on the Sav 404 Oscar Lucite and the rest, with a lot of study and consideration, on an array of great tins of tobacco.

I'm kind of a cheapskate, but I think if I was spending that much on a pipe, I'd go with an artisan that makes their own. You'd be supporting an individual, plus getting something unique with an interesting story. I watched this guy's video series on You Tube and was pretty impressed: http://sedercraft.com/
He doesn't seem to have any for sale on his site at the moment, though.

I personally prefer to go artisan if you have that kind of a budget. There are so many good ones to choose from that it is hard to give good advice, as we all differ in our tastes. I'll throw Tim Thorpe out there, as he's crafted some of my best and in the right price range. But hop on instagram and check out the good carvers. There are plenty.

I agree with R!

 

[crashthegrey]

Nice acquisitions.

Wow, that is an elegant trio. Congratulations. Those will likely be your friends for life. Trying to pick out a favorite among the three, but can't. That Comoy is something.

Well done! Be interested to know how the horn feels in the hand, and in smoking. I don't have anything similar, but I like the look.

$200 is a border price. You won't get a great new pipe for that. Either spend over $300 or look for a good used pipe.
