Viking Pipes

[anthonyrosenthal74]

I was going to wait until after work tonight to post this, but I have a few minutes. I broke my pipe this morning (it was inexpensive) and need to replace it. I was looking at Viking Pipes on Cup o Joes website and they have some in the 45 to 55 dollar range, which is a bit closer in my price range right now. It might be a week or two before I can order one though. Does anyone have any experience with them. Are they pretty descent for the price?

I have a viking, only pipe I have had that ever ghosted bad. Now that I know that however and watch what I smoke in it I have 0 complaints.

Viking pipes were originally made in Denmark by Bjarne Nielsen and offer an exceptional value in briar pipes. Since Bjarne's passing in 2008, one of his top carvers has been producing these pipes and has maintained their quality and value. Copied from site.

If you're talking about a Dr Grabow Viking, they're a pretty good smoke. Really easy to clean.

Yeah they're the Bjarne pipes. I may look at those Savinellis that dottle mentioned as well. I just want to be sure my next pipe is one that some here may have had experience with and know that they hold up well. Even if it is an inexpensive one.
