I'm shopping for a new pipe for the first time in 5-6 years... WOW! Prices seem significantly higher than back then. I'm positive it's just market adjustment with inflation, etc. etc.

But things I thought I could snag in the 300-450 range are all well into the 550+ realm. I don't know what "the most I would spend is" but I'm pretty sure it's well under $500. Not a problem finding more affordable pipes, but when I try to find the makers I wanted back in 2010 they are either unobtanium or obscenely expensive (to me anyway)

Alan Brothers is an option in the lower hundreds, who else are you guys liking for quality/hand made but not break-the-bank?
