[QUOTE="elshano, post: 266728, member: 2467"] I have one of those cheap, standard pipes, albeit a very old one. I was, as far as I can tell, unused. I know about the fragility - don't try tapping out the bowl at the end of a smoke! - and the heat concern, but I have no problem with this pipe and am looking into a better affair. I appreciate the Lepeltier link, which I've glanced at in the past. I am considering a Gouda Goedewaagen, or something of that quality. I do recommend a clay for a number of reasons, but primarily for the reason of tasting various blends before committing a briar, or some other wooden pipe to said blend. Having made that all too common point, I enjoy it as much as my MM cob, or any of my briars. You should be able to find a number of clays that are quite inexpensive and I'm happy to find some links, or simply search ebay, etsy, ruth lane and other similar sites. I realize that this thread opened about a year ago, but in case anyone else is looking into clays and doesn't mind spending a "whopping" $10-$20 dollars, having located one in good condition, it's doubtful that you will regret buying one.
