If You Had To Pick A Perfect $100 Pipe??

[rigmedic1]

I am probably boring people to death with this one, but I have a Rattray's Craggy Root 60, a sandblast pot with a slightly bent stem, that is light as a feather and had thick, thick sides. It smokes MaxBaren HH Highland blend for 90 minutes, and barely gets warm.

I also have a Neerup bent brandy, which is very light for its size, and a fantastic smoker.

Both were less than $150.00, and are my best smoking pipes for Aromatics and VaPers, respectively.

Rig medic, I have had my eye on both of these nice pipes. Glad to hear a great report on both. Thanks !

How about a Stanwell Hans Christian Andersen?
Beautiful pipes with regular and churchwarden stems.
Many variations in the $100-150 range and the rusticated calabash version is my next PAD purchase.

slade, I will check them out. I'm not familiar with the Stanwell Hans Christian Andersen models. Thanks !

Here is a pipe that I think would be a good one. Mastro de Paja is a brand that is very underrated and not talked about very often.

The worst 100.00 pipe I ever bought was a George Jensen bent billiard. It smoked so incredibly hot and wet, would never buy another Jensen.

I would pick a Savinelli every time. I've never had a bad smoking Sav.

I am partial to Mastro de Pay as well. Nicely crafted and good steady smoke.

This Chacom Maya looks like a winner to me, although I do not own one.

I am craving the Poker. $99.95 seems like a decent deal.
Although, at that point, I would personally save up another $40 and grab a Poker from Boswell like this one.
