I am new to pipe smoking. I purchased a Bjarne Houston Volcano. I just now am breaking it in. What are some decent pipes in the 45-80 US dollar range?

Welcome Jon. Off the top of my head:

Peterson

Nording

Savinelli

Stanwell

Chacom

all make very good pipes at that range. Visit any of the site sponsors (to the left of screen) and do some window shopping!

You might want to consider Baraccini as I just acquired 2 additions to my collection. Both are nice pipes and are breaking in really nice. Both were under $35 a piece, which is nice if you want to expand your collection quickly or have lower cost pipes for work or ??.

Welcome Jon. I started very slowly about 6 months ago (after "messing" with it 25 years ago in college). So I'm new too. There's great stuff out here and people are really helpful.
RomeoWood's list is what I looked at. Don't forget to research "seconds" for all those brands. duca Carlo is worth looking at since they're the Savinelli seconds. Not as prett, with some fills, but as a starter they are very decent pipes. You can find them for under $50 even.
The pipe that's always in my pocket is actually a Czech pipe. I think I paid something like $35 for it. That way you don't have to worry about scratching, etc.
And I second tobakenist, start reading and tasting different tobacco's. That's more than half the fun of this hobby
Happy puffing
