Your Best Pipes Under $100 You Smoke

[Latakia Dave]

A list of my sub $100 pipes, all great smokers:
Morgan Bones-7 of them
Stanwell Featherweights -2 of them
Falcon pipes-4 of them
Kaywoodie pipes-5 of them
Probably a few others, but nothing coming to mind right now.

I have 24 Dunhill seconds.
Four of them cost £24.95 each, the other 20 cost £34.95 each

Never had a Stanwell let me down, have a 234 and a 185 that smoke great for under a bill. Also have 2 $40 Molinas that smoke great, ones a Zebrano 111.

You should be able to get any pipe you want under $100 if you are lucky and/or patient enough

 

[aspiring_sage]

I was gifted a couple of Big Ben pipes and they both are great!

Nearly all of my pipes were purchased below the $100 mark and I have fewer than 20, and mostly estate pipes.

The pipes that immediately come to mind -- based on a combination of size, smokability, and attractiveness -- are

• BriarWorks classic light sandblasted billiard
• Viking Skagen classic smooth author
• Peterson System Standard smooth calabash (305)
• Irish Second (probably Peterson) smooth billiard with saddle stem (my least expensive: a basket pipe for about $25 nearly 10 years ago!)

....all of my pipes were under $100...

My Stanwell 85 smokes the best under a 100 dollars.

If you're trying to get the best smokers for the money you might consider estate (used) pipes. Haven't been buying pipes for years so I'm not up on current prices. Personally, I like the high grade Italians the best... by far. Good luck.

Back in 2006 when you could go on the Boswell Tobacco&Pipe web site most days of the week and find 5-6 pipes for sale in the $85- $95 range, I ordered my first two pipes from him - both under $100.

A small pocket pipe I love to take duck hunting- $80
A freehand, full bend that smokes like a dream -$95

I have a Jean Claude Apple, full bend bought in Kirkuk, Iraq for $75

Boswell does make some good smoking pipes. ?

You have to promise not to tell anyone. My reputation would suffer irreparable damage if this got out, but in my top five is a Brebbia Avanti that cost me a whopping $2 and smokes absolutely beautifully.

If you repeat this I will deny it.

Wow $2! I bought an estate Brebbia on Ebay and it is a great smoker. I can't remember what I paid for it. Maybe $30? I don't smoke it as often as I should.

Oops, I just realized Estates were to be excluded. I don't think I have any that qualify once inflation is taken into account.

I have a bunch I could list but I'm going to pick one I got new and new smokers can easily obtain and enjoy. The Savinelli Series III. Mine happens to be a 622KS. I recommend polishing prior to use with micromesh starting wit 1500 to 12000. Helps the color come through. I paid 56 bucks.

Is than an onion?

Blue Hubbard Squash

 

[anotherbob]

my first meer. It's a plain one. Just a straight churchwarden. Smokes great and is taking color nicely and I don't smoke it enough. Mainly cause it's case is shit and doesn't stay closed.

 

[D.T.]

2 Savinelli series 3
3 673 Savinelli fantasia (as long as you don't count tax and shipping)
3 320s 1 a fantasia. Same as 673
1 321
2 petersons st Patrick's day
All others purchase in the 70s and 80s

 

[The Clay King]

A clay.

@Ahi Ka I agree; the only non clay pipes I've owned were gifted...

 

[beezer]

All of my Kaywoodies.

Nearly ALL of my great smoking pipes were bought for less than 100 bucks, but they're also mostly estates that I restored. Best new smokers have been a couple Stanwells, and a Savinelli or two on sale (that barely qualify). I also tried a Road Town and a Golden Gate (for around $50 each), and both are better smokers than my some of my over-100 brands (I won't name names).
