[QUOTE="ragtopbob, post: 127666, member: 1380"] Skip48......Just my opinion but don't be afraid to purchase a presmoked pipe. Since I picked up my pipes again, a little over 5 years ago, I've bought many estate pipes and quite a few of them are now among my favorites. I have 9 Castellos and only 2 were bought new - all of my Castello's are great smokers. About half of the 9 Cavicchi's in my rotation were estate pipes. All but one of the 6 Wiley's I have were estates. My other pipes are a mix of estate and new purchases. Smokingpipes.com and Grey fox are both good sites for estate buys, you can save $$'s if careful on ebay (see my post "My latest PAD" on BOB TAD & PAD. I'm smoking the estate Cavicchi as I write and it's good. I'm retired, budget is and issue and I'm looking to purchase 2 or 3 more Castello's or Cavicchi's with $'s from some pipes I just sold. I'm looking at estates mostly (especially for Castello's) because there is more bang for the bucks in the estate market. Good luck with your quest...............Regards: Bob H [/QUOTE]
