Plastic pipes from Stiff

[briarfriar]

Are you folks ready for a plastic pipe with a briar chamber inside the bowl? It's not turning me on, but it has been getting some press the past day or so.

The designer says that after two centuries without any change to briar pipes, it is time for something new.

Kind of cool looking but nothing really new except for the briar insert. That's the big difference. Yello-Bole made pipes from Brylon years ago. I have one and it's the worst pipe I own. These new ones sound interesting, though.

No Thanks.....

I'd pay $25 bucks for one.

Very innovative, or maybe not.

looks like MM already had the idea

Hmmm I'm not sure about this one.

They still make them.

It does look kind of cool. I wonder what it cost.

 

[nsfisher]

OK, I like the Orange one.

Wood or corn for me now. Mark my words, One day everything will be Plastic.

Hold on to your shorts. The list price for these is $800.00. I guess the Swedes need to make up for Saab going belly-up.

So $800 for injection molded plastic with a briar insert???? :crazy:
It better come with one of these.

 

[cigrmaster]

Charging 800.00 for that thing is disgusting. It might cost 20 bucks to make it. Total scam in my book.

At first I was thinking "Alright, it might be pretty cool to have one and they should be cheap given how low-cost and efficient injection molding is". Then I scrolled down through this thread and saw the price...

Maybe I am off base here, but I really don't thing some things "need" to change. Of course if it did come with some of the accessories that lifeon2 is referring to, I'll take two!

"$800 bucks"??? Bwahahahahahahahahahah hahahaha. Hahahaha!!!!!

Is this a joke? No, seriously...
