I think I have one. I say I think, because it doesn't have BPK stamped on it. It is stamped The Country Squire, which is in Jackson, MS where I bought it and I believe it is a house pipe for them. It's also stamped Czech on the bottom of the shank. The grain is nothing special, but it's fine smoking pipe.

They’re cheap machined pipes with start of production dating back to Socialism; And they still look and feel like it.
EDIT: Kinda quantity over quality, a lot of the models in stock will be churchwardens, those which have passed thru me had questionable ebonite stems and old-school metal tenons instead of the European usual 9mm filter (but depends on the model). They smoke about as decent as anything in that category, the name of the game here is price.
Unless you can get one for very, very cheap or perhaps it’s a shape you want to test (like if you never tried a churchwarden and don’t want to spend to find out) I see absolutely no reason why you should put your money towards BPK.
A much better Czech option would be Jirsa, which is less “industrial” and more along the lines of a decent budget pipe.
In my eyes they are cheap, but not good value cheap. I’d rather put that money towards a better pipe. They’re not bad per se, but unless bought locally I would bet you’re just overpaying for the shop’s markup, which defeats their main benefit.

Hi, Francis. Do you work for them? I am sure that you are spot on. It is possible.... The thought did cross my mind as well..... Still, I will never forget being accused of working for cigarbid, care of cigars international, pipes and cigars (STG) etc. at one time.... In fact, it was during my introduction to the patch.... In the end, who really cares? Few, if any here, are going to buy these pipes with the feedback gathered so far. lol     |
