As very new to the pipe thing, I'd certainly appreciate your recommendations as to what manufacturer makes a good quality briar pipe (in the price range of $50 - $150).
I've looked at Savinelli and Peterson. Really liked the Peterson Claddagh (01) fishtail. (They had them at Smokingpipes.com but I no longer see that model in their inventory).
So, any recommendation for a good manufacturer, specific pipe and/or source?
Thanks in advance for your input.
