Unfortunately, you often can't return a pipe after you've smoked it. In a good B&M they can put a cover on the mouthpiece at let you look in a mirror.
Missouri Meerschaum cobs are not fragile and they don't break easily. They are great smoking pipes.
Never thought of a pipe in regards to how I looked smoking it, just as a tool for smoking but it can be done.
Get ahold of Blatter pipes and chat em up. I’m sure they have something they could suggest.
I second this. The Rossi’s I own smoke very well and are reliable. It won’t break the budget either.
Been done. Take a look at how they can "fit" glasses at Warby-Parker.
If you're on the hunt for a high quality, inexpensive briar pipe, I second the Ropp etudiant line. I'm currently smoking a new Ropp J07 billiard model and it smokes just as well as my Savinelli pipe. I picked up two of the J07 in a sandblasted finish and they're both phenomenal. Just make sure that the chamber size is reasonably sized, especially since it would be your first pipe. I would recommend a chamber depth between 1.25 and 1.5 and width of at least .7 or so. When I first started pipe smoking I didn't understand chamber size and I got a J03 shape which had a chamber size that is seriously microscopic. I mostly smoked ribbon cut tobacco at the time and the pipe was essentially useless for that cut of tobacco. Anyway one of the Ropp pipes would run you around $45 and with shipping included, the pipe would be around $50 I believe. If this is out of your current price range I would suggest a cob from Missouri Meerschaum. ?
I can completely recommend a brand new Dr Grabow pipe as a good value and after you’ve broken it in by completely smoking about a dozen bowls all the way down, there’s no other briar at any price that’s going to smoke better.hey!
I recently have been introduced into pipe smoking by a friend.
I was currently looking on the internet for a pipe and I've naturally been attracted to amazon to do my shopping. The thing is once I've realized that 20 $ seemed a bit low for a quality pipe (Joyoldelf and other chinese products) I've looked around the internet and even learned that some wood are actually toxic when warmed or burnt. Anyways, I've been now looking for a bit around to find a pipe that wouldn't kill me and would be around 50$ (I know I might have a low budget but I don't want to burn 100$ without knowing if I really gonna love this new way to appreciate tobacco). I've found the website Mr. Borg and I really like some of the design of their pipes and they claimed to be briar wood (there's pear wood too). I know that their model around 50$ won't be the best quality but I don't really mind that my first pipe is not a fancy one. All that said, is MrBorg a good call? or maybe you have something better to propose me? Will MrBorg products cause me to drop dead???
P.s. I know about the corncob ones (being around 10$) But I don't find them particularly good looking and they seem to be pretty fragile and break easily (I might be wrong tho).
The more you read about corn cob pipes, the more you'll want to get one ? Trust me, I used to be like you, I didn't like the look of corn cob pipes (I still don't really like the look now ?), but out of curiosity, I bought one to try. It totally smokes different! And it's cheap, you can ask people who custom make pipe to make over for you if you don't like the look or color of it ?. Now I have 3 corn cob pipes ?

Was looking at them myself. Nice looking. Maybe you will update, if you try one?Thanks! just found out about Brigham! Found A good looking one around 40$ and they're canadian wich is a plus for me
Great pipes. I bought three. When you pick one Steve sends you a link that details the cleaning with pictures Impressive!
I agree with a Ropp or Rossi pipe. They are briar and made well. Pick out a shape that you like, buy it, and move on to learning how to break in and smoke it.hey!
