The Jirsa definitely holds its own compared to the Stanwell, Petey, Larsen, and cheapos I have. It's an excellent pipe for the money I think, I have pipes that were much more expensive that don't smoke as well.

If you've never tried pipe smoking before you might want to consider some cobs or a meer. If your going to be sampling a bunch of different tobaccos a single briar pipe is gonna get some flavor ghosts. You won't get that so much with cobs or a meer.

Been threw a few Cob's, Mainly for sampling different tobacco's
And Also i have my Briar i bought online i think from the "other place " from a guy that hooked me up with a great selection of tobacco as well- All it says is Algerian Briar Made in France. Def. a cheaper pipe, So i tend on using it for flavors.

So all in and all a Jirsa would be a great pickup for someone Looking towards a more quality pipe, But still under the 100$ Range
If you have any other suggestions i would be very interested in them as well
