First, I've learned more about pipes in this forum than I could have imagined. Thank you.
I have actively been looking for an American made pipe now for weeks. I've checked nearly all the links from this forum on the different makers that I like and none of them have pipes available. At least I can't find any.
Missed out on a BST pipe. Went to eat, came back and it was gone.
Have looked at every pipe on smokingpipes.com and can't seem to find an American pipe that is what I'm looking for. I've contacted several artisans but the waiting list is really long.
Any suggestions?
I'd like something like a Roush or a Cooke. Willing to pay for that quality. Definitely more interested in a unique, quality pipe in a billiard, apple, or traditional style. Is the best way just to commission and wait?
I also like most everything Castello makes. I know they aren't American makers, but the pickings seem to be pretty slim on the US side of things! It seems this board is pretty high on them but I don't understand their grading.
