Underrated Factory Pipes / Brands

[Mr.Mike]

I got an old ugly Willard pot that smokes fantastic.

I’m determined to try out Briarworks ...

I just bought two off another forum member and could not be happier.

Another vote for Brebbia.

I definitely agree with the Grabow's and other reasonably priced pipes as being underrated, any pipe by any maker can be hit or miss. However, I do believe it is subjective of what's considered a 'great smoking' pipe.

One person says "My Peterson is the best pipe I own!".

Another says "Nothing is better than a cob!".

Who's right? Both of course.

That said, I like my Willard Dublin, Grabow's and prefer cobs, particularly the unfiltered.

So my vote is for corncob's and Dr. Grabow's.

a good pipe is one you don't have to fight. What works with one person might not work so well for another. I've only had two bad pipes. One very low end one very middle end.

Another vote for Brebbia.

my Brebbia is an amazing pipe. Didn't even think of brands when I got it. But it smokes great and gets lots of shout outs from people walking or driving by.

I don’t know if they’re “underrated”, but Rossi (Savinelli) is certainly one of the best bangs for the buck.

I second Rossi. The stummel I have is filled with pits, and the finish bubbled off within the first two smokes. BUT I have had no issues smoking it. The fact that the stem is savinelli is what gets me. Most comfortable stem I've ever had.

Those are actually way, way OVERrated.

Don’t tell @cosmicfolklore, he loves them.

Big fan of my Rossi's. I also like the Brigham I have too.

I don't consider Dr. Grabow pipes to be underrated. They are among the last men standing in briar factory pipes in the U.S.. They are regularly discussed and often praised on Forums. You can even buy them at Walgreens. Their reasonable price may make them seem like lower grade pipes, but I think owners know that's not true. I like the Royalton line for their acrylic stems.

Molina...I have a couple that I paid $35-$40 and they're really good smokers. They're not mentioned very often here on the forum.

I'm fairly novice but my Molina starter kit pipe smokes far beyond my other briars. It is a completely different smoking experience. My next briar will probably be another from them.

Any of the major French pipe manufactures, hands down

I’ve found Parker of London, James Barber B Line and GQ own brand pipes good smoking pipes. All are advertised as being made by a very famous London maker.
Available for £25 to &35.
Happy puffing !

Savinelli Grezza waxed pipes the whole range are good smokers great value.Come in both 3mm and 9mm stems.

I might have missed it, but I don't think I saw anyone mention Bones. I've got 3 & all are great. For the coins you can't beat them. Savs & their sub-brands also, along with Comoy & Brebbia too.
