Now that I’ve run a dozen or so bowls thru this I think it’s going to be a great $65 smoker. It’s a White Elephant

Holy cow. Well, all I can say is I'm paying waaay too much for my pipes!!
Grabbed this Custombilt for around 20$ on eBay about 5 yrs ago. I had a new stem added for about 35$. Some find it ugly, but I rather like the look, and it’s a burley smoking machine.

That pipe looks amazing! I can’t imagine it being categorized as ugly.Grabbed this Custombilt for around 20$ on eBay about 5 yrs ago. I had a new stem added for about 35$. Some find it ugly, but I rather like the look, and it’s a burley smoking machine.

MM Carolina Gent and my 2 Danish estates, Svendborg Brandy and Stanwell 85, they are to close to call a winner.
Less than $50. Bowl doesn't get hot so fast, even i puffed like chimney, cool draw, light, easy to hold, China made, no brand. Even better than the Dr. Plumb which i spent about $70.
I don't own one in the category anymore, but I had a sandblasted billiard I bought for $4 brand new from rna treasures. It was a great smoker.
I have only one pipe that cost me under 100.00. It is an old Peretti straight grain Billiard. The grain is amazing and the pipe looks like it should sell for hundreds. I only bought because I felt a collection of American pipes had to have a Peretti pipe in it. When my son comes home from work today I will try and get a pic taken of it.
I have a Peterson that was one of my first pipes that took forever to break in, but it is a top performer now. I also have a stanwell that has always done very well. There are several others, and with careful selection in my experience most pipes can be very good performers. One does not need to be a person of means to have an absolutely top shelf experience in this hobby.
That said, for this hobby most of my collection were artisan pipes and artisan/factory pipes made by companies like Ardor. Most of those are, and were, over the $100 mark.

All of the 6 Petersons I own cost less than $100 except for one, a gift, which I'm sure cost more because of the sterling silver on the shank. Of course I purchased them during a previous century.
I recollect my sole remaining Savinelli circa 1977 cost maybe $75, purchased to celebrate my first lecturing gig.

I really like my clays a lot. But I have two Morgan Bones, one for at home and one for traveling. (I have a small travel case and a bent shape doesn’t fit very well, but the straight apple is perfect.) The Morgan Bones really smoke well. As a matter of fact, I smoked the travel pipe at home today ?
This is currently my best pipe / tobacco combination. Perfect smoking characteristics and pleasure every time. I've only recently found it - this is the first tin.
Aldo Velani. Sterling silver band.
Waaay under $100.
One of many great smokers under $60, and expect that several of my pipes I've not gotten to yet will be fantastic as well.

I have several Savinelli pipes that are at, or a little below $100. Here’s one of my favorites:
Of all the pipes I have bought over the last 10 years, only one was over $1oo. That was a commissioned meer.
My pear wood pipe I got for Christmas is one of my favorites.
And there’s this Serbian guy, who somehow found a bunch of SON pipes that were made in Denmark 55 years ago by Eric Nording, except they don’t say Eric Nording on them. Anyway, for only $35 postpaid from Serbia you can buy one, that looks exactly like that pear wood pipe, only it was 55 years ahead of it’s time. Mmm, mmm, delicious.

Medico back-of-the-box special offer pipe (1/4 bent sandblast egg).
Besides cobs, the only other pipes I bought new were a Barling Londoner Dublin and a Savanelli Punto Oro Zulu way back in the '80s, both of which I still have; they were both under $100, but that was a long time ago. The Sav is my favorite.
