Whoa, Nellie! We have a $66.00 clay pipe sighting. https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/Clarin-Clay/
Whose idea is this? It's a disposable pipe, like a cob---Oh. Never mind.

Oh yeah man, I saw that. I don’t know whats going but Smokingpipes is getting really overpriced with everything.Citizen B wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2023 3:49 pm Whoa, Nellie! We have a $66.00 clay pipe sighting. https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/Clarin-Clay/

I understand that inflation effects this, but who in their mind is spending that on a clay?
Actually, i’m not surprised as people spend $150+ on Corn Cob Pipes.
To each their own I guess

Ron, can you tell us more about these porcelain pipes? I am intrigued.Ronv69 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 01, 2023 10:20 pmI have 3 or 4 German clays with Vulcanite stems. They are superior smokers to the all-clay pipes. I have several double-walled porcelain Zenith pipes that are even better. But none come close to briar or cob.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Sun Oct 01, 2023 4:16 pmMine is a vulcanite stem jobber. So as long as you don't grab it by the bowl, you're good. It's a mistake you really only make once
