I forgot to mention Svendborgs last time I posted they are also great Danish pipes.

I need to add more vintage British pipes to the collection over the next couple of years. So far, I have one (1), the BBB "Own Make Virgin" Canadian and what a fine pipe it is! I'll be looking for all pre-merger pipes from Orlik, Comoy, GBD, and BBB, the best that I can get, at a price that I can afford.

My favorite shape is easily the pot.

I seem to have a preference for the threaded-tenon Grabows and GBD's. Charatan makes a very nice pot. I have one Dunhill pot and a couple of Barlings.

In terms of a artisan pipe maker, I am smoking a BST pot as I type this, and that is what I will recommend.

I've noticed the old British pipes go for a fair bit more in the states. Might be worth looking on eBay uk, Russ.
Even with the postage, I'm sure you'd get a better deal. William of estatepipesdenmark has a good selection of BBB's I've noticed, as well.

I heartliy agree and his prices are fair too.
