Need help filling in the gaps
New Pipe recommendations for Prices versus Value
Here are a few suggestions to get started
Less than 50 bucks
Kaywoodie/YB/Medico
Rossi Vittoria
Brigham
50 to 80 range
Still hard to top the kaywoodie
Falcon setups
Rossi
I was going to add the Tsuge Tasting series but just noticed the price went up considerably

Hard to go wrong with an estate Grabow (vulcanite stem) off the 'Bay.
I realize you were asking new. For my money it is the Rossi Vittoria.

I'd say the rossi piccolo (because right at the $50 mark they hit my size and weight preference)
Also the ropp etudiant line gets fantastic reviews everywhere and again fits that little light category at $50

Forgot about the Ropp pipes I had a couple Etudiant pipes in the past and they were good little pipesMr Beardsley wrote: ↑Mon Jan 16, 2023 7:06 pm I'd say the rossi piccolo (because right at the $50 mark they hit my size and weight preference)

I might also need to try one of those Rossi Piccolo pipes soon
I’ll be interested to see what Dr Grabow offers for their mail in offer for POY - those have had vulcanite stems the last few years
Guess it should be time to contact them and see what and when it happens
wvss has a line of aged briar pipes they bought and sent to Bill at Kaywoodie to finish off.
Reasonably priced, bought a couple and they seem to smoke well but I don’t have a ton of bowls through them just yet

For my money it has been Mark Tinsky pipes. Smoke as good or better than anything I have had in any price range.

I’m really happy with my Rossi Sera 8320. It’s about $70-$80, depending on where you get it from.

Kaywoodie , Yello Bole and Medico ... easily the best deal in the pipe world .
A Falcon setup is 50 bucks for stem and bowl ... theyre really great too
Ive had some outstanding Velani pipes . Like really really fantastic
