Why do you want a cherry pipe? Briar is better. They used to make most pipes outta cherry. You could probably do a little research and find a cherry pipe cheap on Ebay or Etsy. Be careful though cherry wood is deceptive. Cherry could be the color, the shape, or the wood. Also here here where they sell pipes you can filter to only show cherry wood pipes.

I have a Ropp cherry wood pipe. It smokes great. It's ugly in my opinion but otherwise great

I have a Ropp Cherrywood Deluxe that I paid 10$ for on ebay and I'm happy to not only own it but I enjoy smoking it too. Some of these look like big chunks of tree branch but the one I have has rather a more 'refined' stummel and the stem is one of my favorites.

Calling @TheIronMonkey, he has a large Ropp Cherry wood collection and knows quite a bit about them.

All the Ropp pipes made from cherry that I have smoke nicely. They’re chunky and clunky, and can often be found very cheaply.

I have MM hardwood that is cherry.

Cherrywood sounds like an inexpensive way to flavor all your own tobacco. Guys that like seem to be happy with them.

I own two cherrywood pipes. One is a MM Ozark and the other is a Mac Queen churchwarden. They smoke great and they do not impart a flavor to the tobacco.

There are pipes made from cherry wood eg this Ropp (French)
These are rustic looking pipes with thick, chunky walls.



There is also the cherrywood SHAPE - pipes made in the shape of the above.
The Poker shape is somewhat similar, with a shank/stem at right angles to the bowl.

I have several Ropps Cherry wood, don't smoke them because they are crap, why don't I sell them because I won't put anyone through the crap, Briar, Meerschaum and Clay's are better than Cherry Wood.

love cherry wood pipes. But they're not like briar. It's a lot less durable and less pretty too. It also changes the flavor of tobacco a lot more dramatically. It can improve or ruin certain blends. Worth having one or at least trying one. If you do get one make sure you don't write it off from one blend. Vanilla goes great with it.
