are they any good? im looking for cheap solid pipes that dont look like they belong to popeye, im after a churchwarden and a bent stem at some point. how are mysmokingshop’s offerings?
I have one there pocket folding pipes cost me about £15 , nice for the money. have a look at the falcon pipes a lot of pipe for not a lot of cash.
Their prices look good, I would say the are seconds made by name brand manufactures, more than likely have fills where defects in the brier were found or the hole is slightly off center and didn’t pass manufacture standards of quality. Rusticated pipes are made with less attractive grain still good pipes just not up to being a smooth finish. The best grain pipes usually have the lightest color stain. The economy pipes are made of fruit wood like pear not Brier.
hmm, im considering Mysmokingshop Italian Smooth Bent Briar Pipe a24 Mysmokingshop Real Briar Churchwarden Smooth Pipe f unfortunately i cant link, but they look like what im after.
