I was watching a video of a pipe makers conference and the pipe maker giving the lecture, said he either smokes them himself or tosses them in the bin, I assume some makers don't do that, but I have no idea what happens to them.
Wow! Good Pipes Are Good.

Thank you all. I started this thread to talk about how much better my inexpensive pipes smoke as opposed to my cheap pipes. The resulting discussion has been very informative.
At this point in my pipe smoking career I can say from experience I am much more likely to get a decent pipe by spending a few more bucks for a "brand" pipe. Most basket pipes around here run $30-40. $50-60 will score a good Nording or Sav. Yes, it will be pre owned, but most of them have more years left in them than I do. So for now I'm going to skip the basket and search out good name estates. Maybe in a few years when my briar eye develops I can go back and score a few great pipes hiding in a glass jar.
