I have way more than my quota of Marxman pipes, styled for the rugged outdoor man of action.
And if I spent all my time around hairy legged boys outdoors then I’d be happy to smoke nothing except pre 54 Marxman pipes. I’d usually have a more rustic pipe than my buddies.
But for the third pipe in a row I’ve got an excellent, beautiful Algerian pipe, for $49 total plus shipping and taxes, about another $20 total.
$10 LHS silver band second

The $10 one is the best of an excellent trio, and the best smoker I own yet, period.
Lookit the grain on this last one I got today.

After you have a whole slug of beautiful pipes to admire and show off any money spent on non Algerian briar is just wasted, I think.
