check our our ebay auction stickied topic.
i might have to post some that are ending later today that i think would be a good deal for someone.

stanwells, petersons, savinellis - all solid products that can be had CHEAP.

how cheap are you looking for? as some solid pipes can be had for $40-60 brand new.

Re: Pipes?

www.pipesandcigars.com is a good site. I bought my first pipe there which was a Savinelli. I really reccommend the Savinelli as a good first pipe.

Their Savinelli Naturals are a tad bit more than your quoted budget, ($37). The one I have is a solid performer.

Or the estates Greg posted.


Can't make it much easier for ya'.

Re: Pipes?

A good first pipe is a $4-$5 corn-cob from your local B&M. Reasons are several: if you find it's not for you, min investment. You'll learn how to light, pack, smoke a bowl without scorching or burning out a good pipe. Also, cobs are reputed not to hold flavors so you can work your way through different types ot tobacco looking for a genre you like without fear of wanting to dedicate the pipe to that genre (something I wouldn't worry about persnoally, but you read it on the forum alot).
