Show Us Your Mr. Brog Pipes!

I didn't see an active Mr Brog post, so I will start a new one.

I picked this thing up the other day because I wanted a green pipe and didn't want to pay a lot of money for one. It is a No 51 Amigo and I have only smoked 2 half bowls in it thus far(first was GLP Spark Plug, and today an aro blend).

Seems to smoke pretty nicely for a new pipe that was under $30.

Nice. I've been considering a Mr Brog for a while

My #21 will be here in a couple days.

Smokes good and looks good for the price. The stem has a strange feel... aside from that, ya can't beat it for under $30!

I am thinking of ordering another, as it is a good smoker.

I just found these randomly on Amazon, while I hate the company (Amazon not Brog) I was thinking of buying one before I cancel my prime.

I have three. To each their own. To me, they are as cheap as you can get, and I don't smoke them anymore. The bits are hard to get past. The pear is fine, but the colored stain really discolors over time.

I'd rather have a cob, a $40 Bones, a $60 ropp, or ideally a $100 Tekin meerschaum that just goes and goes. I just grab the same pipe over and over, with no concern for ghosting or souring... Had I done that sooner, I'd have a lot less pipes. I just needed to find a smaller meerschaum in a classic smooth shape.

Good to know. I have a cheap Molina which I am happy with.

I bought one several years ago. Burnt through in a matter of weeks.

I have several Bones pipes... Rock solid smokers.

I read somewhere that Mr Brog had quite a few quality issues, which is why Mr Balandis left them. Personally, I wouldn't buy a Brog pipe.

Mr Balandis Pipes?? :: Pipe Talk

Does anyone have experience with this pipe maker/distributor? Mr. Balandis I know the pipes are made in Poland and they seem to be of decent quality, according to various sources on FB and by looking at the pictures. The prices seem pretty fair, they use acrylic stems and use different types...

Too bad the Balandis pipes have a $65-70 shipping charge to the states

That's probably new, because back when I posted on that linked thread the shipping was a steal. To Canada, anyway.
