It's not hard to find a great looking beautiful pipe if you're willing to spend the money. But every once in a while I find a pipe that wasn't all that expensive when new, and I certainly didn't pay much for it used. Just a great looking little gem that smokes wonderful.
A couple of months ago I came across just such an animal. This little (group 3?) straight Dublin shape Armellini pipe caught my eye on eBay that I got for about $13 including shipping. Italian pipe makers aren't usually known for making traditional shapes that much, so I thought this might be interesting. A little clean up and wow, I really liked the looks of this pipe. The more I look at it and smoke it the more I love it. Nice grain, and while I usually don't like gold or brass on pipes, this seemed to make it look even more classy, especially with the smokey grey stem. Probably not everyones cup of tea, but what do you have that's an inexpensive pipe that you love?
