Hello,
I'm working for an import company in Korea.
A few weeks ago my boss told me to find a best-inexpensive pipes.
we already have Missouri Meerschaum's, Cadogan's(BBB). and i sent mails to Dr.Grabow, Mr.Blog. Briar's(Kaywoodie-Yellobole-medico)
That's all i got now so far,
2 of them didn't reply me back and one of them already had contract with an other distributor in korea.
I'm not even a smoker, so having trouble to find right things. my boss doesn't want chinese one.
The retail price range is 20-30usd.
Any recommendation?
Please help me... !!
If there's website or contact number, it would be great.... !

I agree with rothnh. If you can include the $20 to $65 range, that would bring you into the

Savenelli economy pipes, some of the Butz-Choquin non-stamped pipes, some of the

Iwan Ries pipes, and others of similar good quality at a low price. Other U.S. lines would

include Yello-Bowl and Medico (not all of these are briar). I don't know if your market is

Korea or re-export online. I think cobs may be your best bet for domestic (Korean) sales.

Great product, high volume, low price.

You should talk to Erik Nording. He makes an economy line called Eriksen that retails at $35 to $45 that smokes better than many pipes at twice the price. Another possibility is Hardcastle. Their lower end pipes retail at about $40 and are quite serviceable.

I have one of those Eriksen pipes and it is impressive, notably solid, well-drilled. The only question, for import

purposes is, does Nording do the volume. I don't know. Hardcastle probably does, although they seem to be

expanding their mid-level pipes and reducing their low-price line. But all this could be explored with them, for

import purposes.

Bethlehem, Pa.
There is a guy in Lebanon looking to export briar pipes and they are very cheap. I can't remember his name but you should be able to do a search and find him.

There is a company called H.I.S. out of Italy or you might try Mitchell Thomas pipes. Good luck.
