Although I could always either buy a cobb if I needed a pipe or throw one together when I was in a place where none were to be found. However, I could never buy a pipe when I couldn't. I cannot (seriously) wait to learn how that's done.
"Not the sweet, new grass with flowers is this harvesting of mine; Not the upland clover bloom..."
I find this saying quite interesting. Unfortunately, I don't have a clue as to its meaning. Could you explain it in a more understandable way?
I think you really listed some solid choices. Can’t go wrong with just buying more tobacco either and that can scratch the itch of buying something new at a much cheaper price.
If you decide to go for a new pipe, just pick your favorite in the moment, they will all be solid smokers.

"...but the rowen mixed with weeds,
tangled tuft from marsh and meads,
where the poppy drops its seeds,
in the silence and the gloom."
Poetic to describe a life that is joyless and unfulfilled. Plain English: my life sux.
It's taken from Henry Wadsworth Longefellow poem, The Aftermath
Take a look at smoking pipe's estate selection. For $150 you can find an up-market pipe that might suit you to a ''T." Or if you are looking for a new pipe, consider some of the higher end Nordings and Johs. If you stick with known brands, you will likely do okay. Some Ashtons come in close to that, though at that price, they are smaller pipes.
My (unasked for) advice to Henry is that he changes whatever he's smoking and take 500mg of Thorazine
twice a day. This will overcome his depression, forget which planet he's on and afford the opportunity to spend more time contemplating the structure of his belly-button.
I like smaller, flake pipes. I bought a Tekin in a small apple clencher that is all I smoke any more. 3-5 bowls per day. I had to band the stem, because I thought it looked weak. I'd sell all of my other pipes(130-140 pipes), except a few sentimental favorites... Everyone is different. Shape and size matter a great deal.
My Vauen which was like 100 and some change is a champ of a pipe. And I like the way they just tend to add a little bit of flair to traditional shapes.
"Plain English: my life sux."
I'm taking what said, seriously: On the upside, you're saying this at your computer and not on the ledge of a 50 story condo. In plain English: It is impossible for your mind to think of two things at the same time. If you think your life sux you will own it and it will. If you feel your life sux, ask yourself "Compared to who else's life? Are you as bad off as a guy living in a steel tank because he can't breathe on his own? I'd bet he'd want to trade places with you right now. "Better living through chemistry." Call your doctor, mention Citalopram. Do what he says. It will turn your thinking and your life in the right direction. Do it!
Man, really. Let's get back to pipes: better living through NATURAL chemistry.
I'm jealous. I only have 89 pipes and my landlord won't even let me have an ant, let alone a Capuchin. Ye Gadd's my fellow piper, they are sooooo expensive.
"Let's get back to pipes:" Gladly. I took what you said at your word and was concerned. I meant well. As to
"better living through NATURAL chemistry." Better still.
I meant it. It's what it is. But I don't do doctors or meds: the one sux worse than my life (Canada: suxialist medicare), and the other kills your liver and destroys your kidneys and creates addiction that is nigh impossible to get rid of... all whilst purporting to "help" you. Typical Big Pharma and their "being in the business of 'life' ". No thanks. If I wanted the substance approach I'd rather buy a bottle of gin and get loaded: it's kinder to the liver than those BigPharma concoctions.
I appreciate your concern, though, and I thank you. But as in Dirty Harry, "don't concern yourself", mate.
Well... you're right about everything you just said.
The proof of course is in all the people they've killed over the years "practicing" medicine. As for me, sometimes they get it right. Sometimes...
