Looking for larger pipes under 100 bucks

[WaydeG]

Pipes made by David Jones and sold new on Ebay tend to be hefty chunks of wood. That is based only on two pipes that I have owned, but his Ebay photos suggest that large pipes are his style. I bought the two below from Ebay for under $100 each. Most of the time he has 2-3 pipes for auction. You can find his pipes by searching Ebay for "David Jones pipe". His Ebay photos have a reddish hue in them that does not accurately represent their real color. Their color is more like in this photo.

I love the David Jones pipes and yes, they are a bargain. Usually on eBay fro low $60s to $100. Most go for around $75. They are definitely on my "must have list - that and he's from Texarkana. Gotta support those local boys. Thanks for the photos Steve. I wondered if the reddish hue on the rim was an accurate depiction.

As of today...

On my computer, the current Jones pipes you linked to look a lot redder than my pipes in person, but you are correct that its mainly on the rim that the photos look redder.

I read this thread and bought 1 Tom Leedy pipe. After shipping and all it was $102. It is a beast. It is like a baseball in my hand, and the chamber swalows 3/4 of my pinky finger with room to spare. I bet it holds a quarter once of tobac.
