Looking for Briar Pipe Recommendations

If you just started out a good Cob would be a better bet....but I have 4 estate briars and they all smoke wonderfully but I have 2 Petes that are my crown Jewels. I plan on picking up a couple more petes after the holidays.

Just find something you like to look at, comfortable to hold and smokes well.

Try Frenchy's - nice selection, prices are right, and a good man to deal with.

Another great source is www.pipesandcigars.com. Their selection is ridiculous.

If there are crappy Savs or Petes I haven't heard much about them. I have one of each and they're both fine smoking pipes.

But what Shawn said is worth considering. Work with cobs or a modest meerschaum - no drying time and no flavor ghost. Both cobs and meers are excellent to smoke until you find you way around to the briar that looks and feels just right.
