No need for a hand made pipe. The biggest thing a hand made pipe has is it's easier to make it look extra sharp. Doing a hand made pipe allows them to be more reactive to what the briar is doing. But most of the price hike in that is just how long it takes them to make a pipe compared to a factory system where people have only a few jobs and the pipe is a predesigned group effort made with shop tools instead of hand tools.Hello
I’d like to purchase a pipe around $300
I need recommendations..
should I need an hand made pipe?
which brand?
Thank you
My suggestion look at pipes till you find one that really just calls to you. One where you know it's the one to buy because you don't like the idea someone else might own it.
I don't have a pipe for instance that doesn't smoke good (well one but I don't count it) and I the price range goes from around 50 bucks to 250 and the most expensive one is the most temperamental of them all it does smoke really well but it's the least forgiving, I have to pay more attention packing it then any of my others. So don't think more equals a better pipe or better smoke. It equals a pipe that in theory has more individual care.
