I was just thinking about this today! For me the two that come to mind instantly are @RobNYC and @PaulRVA...I need to avoid those two!! 🤣🤣
Quite sorry to exacerbate the PAD, but one day you may step back and look at your collection and be pleased that you were led on by the treachery of others. Then again, you may step back and look at your bank account and not be very fond of us. In any case, congrats on the new purchase...I am anxious to see it! (I hope you're not into fountain pens, that can get MUCH worse).

No apologies required lol! I accept full responsibility for my impulsiveness! A quality pipe that pleases my eye and is a good smoker will always be worth it to me!

Might be a bit above your desired range, but it's a pretty darn good deal on a handmade pipe from a well regarded maker.

Il Duca for sale..

You're right, that is a bit outside of the price range I'm currently looking for. That said, it's a beautiful pipe, has the aesthetic shape I'm looking for, and the bowl size I'd want. If I were in a different financial position right now, I'd definitely consider it! :D

I noticed your link said it was strawberry wood? How similar are the qualities between briar and strawberry? Would you have to be particularly careful when smoking a pipe like that?

Briar and Strawberry are close cousins - very similar in smoking characteristics. I treat my strawberries the same as briar.

Every poster we have on here is my favorite poster and I love every pipe that is shown on ways. Regardless if it’s for me or not I admire it no differently. Were all a little weird or eccentric in some fashion so I’m honestly just thankful that we have a place to get together and display it. With the exception of 1 of my pipes a Peterson 309 I’d easily give away most of them to get someone else into our hobby or lifestyle and actually do that when I can. We have to pass this down to another to keep the flame going.

Oh no, you do pens too?
