I've noticed that pipes that are made personally for you seem to have a certain magic/love in the way they smoke. I've got 16 pipes that were made just for me and when I smoke them they have the same qualities in the way they smoke as my beloved Comoys. They smoke wonderfully from the very first smoke. Do you find the same qualities in your personally-made-for-you pipes?

I wish I could answer this...unless Missouri Meerschaum make their Legends just for me. I doubt it.

my only "commission"...back in '12, not before my beloved MIL passed, she told my Mrs. "be sure you get a nice pipe for Ed". Wound up a huge Tinsky blk/tan DrunkenPoker. About once a week load it, enjoy it.

Not only commissioned pipes but pipes given to me by my special friends.

I enjoy ALL the briars I own, commissioned or not, if they do not preform to my liking they’d be sold......quickly! I own pipes that I paid $20.00 to $50.00 new that smoke as well, if not better then some of my much more expensive pipes. My opinion: has to do with the type/age of the briar, the precise drilling of the draft, as well as the stem.
Almost 2 years ago a friend from NY sent me for the holidays a $600.00 Devil Anse pipe made by a renowned Master pipe maker, I will not mention the maker, but I’ve made a number of comments when smoking this particular pipe...” I can not find a blend that smokes well in this overpriced pipe “! I would have sold the pipe if it was not a gift, believe me!! After roughly a year and a half I found a Virginia Flake that “ sings “ to me when smoked in this pipe. It ends up this $600.00 pipe is dedicated to just one Virginia Flake.....definitely NOT worth the money!! The design and mechanics behind the pipe are perfect, I believe the briar was not cured/aged properly!!!

Interesting question. I've only commissioned two or three pipes and I ended up passing them along to friends who admired them. There is certainly something special about having a pipe made to your own specs...
