I've never been a man of much financial means, but I also have, "*champagne taste on a beer budget*," as they say. So, I've tried to make a game of finding cheaper brand pipes that break the "cheap" mold. This doesn't happen often, but I've got a few Grabows, Wally Franks, etc. that have some pretty spectacular grain, shaping, and whatnot. A couple days ago I was able to pick up this "Pipe de Roi" (never heard of it before) for 20 bucks, and while not much to write home about on any front other than the blast, that one aspect is pretty dang nice. Shaping isn't bad though. It will need some cleaning up, but should do fine. It's coming from the Ukraine, so here's hoping it actually makes it.

Really great looking pipe. Blasted pipes are 100% my favorites. I have some absolutely beautiful smooth pipes, but for actually holding and enjoying and smoking, sandblast is the best of both worlds in beauty AND function. LOVE the swirl look there.

I love a good basket pipe like that. That's as beautiful as anything else out there and we can afford to smoke it or, heaven forfend, break it.

Looks like it comes with a partially smoked bowl of tobacco for you to finish up on arrival.
