Factory Pipes

[filmguerilla]

My main pipes are pretty much Petersons and Savinelli. I prefer a big bowl and gravitate towards inexpensive Sav KS/EX shapes and a couple of the bigger Petes (B42, XL's). I do have nicer pipes, including a few commissions, but I'd be lying if I said I smoked them near as much as my Petes and Savs.

Most Pipes are Factory Made, Petersons are, and many are, nothing wrong with them.

Reputable brand factory pipes are rather reliable smokers. Chances are pretty good you need further practice. Custom pipes are just that. You get to suggest the things you want, and as long as the artisan is willing.. Providing price come to an agreement, you get your pipe after some wait.

Peterson pipes fit my need perfectly. So does MM cobs. No need to anything more expensive.

Generally speaking, you're getting more precise craftsmanship, better materials, better drilling, and a nicer finish when you pay more. There are some cheap factory pipes (Lorenzo, Rossi, Ropp, etc) that will absolutely give you a great smoke, so I wouldn't assume that cheap means that it won't smoke well - or that expensive means that it will, for that matter.

a pipe is a tool and a very personal tool. It's some bit better or worse then others, but more works well with a smokers style then anything else.
