Hello everyone!

I have just recently stumbled upon this forum after pipe-smoking casually for almost a year. I still only have a Mississippi Meerschaum Ozark that I smoke my aromatics out of (that's all I've smoked). I would love recommendations for a new and relatively affordable pipe to take me to the next level. I also have a couple of kiseru along with some kizami tobacco that I smoke on occasion and count as my own little collection.

It's a pleasure to be here!

Welcome from PA.

I have quite a few MM pipes and they are great smokers, so definitely think about grabbing a Country Gentleman, a Mark Twain, a Diplomat, a Legend, or any of the Cobbits. So depending on your budget, you can look at Rossi and/or Ropp pipes which are $50-75 give or take, Savinelli, Peterson, Stanwell and Nording, which can range from $75-$120 (for the more common pipes) or $120-300+ for the higher end models. If you want to venture in meerschaum waters, you can find good pipes between $60-150, with higher end models in the $150-350 range.

That said, also look into some German clay pipes which you can find $15-50...they make some solid smokers and it kinda makes you feel like you are back in the colonial days.
