"Former" Pipes
Anyone own one of these? I'm considering picking up a pair from the fine folks at www.smokingpipes.com, and am looking for some feedback.
Thanks as always!

The Former brand was created by Hans J Nielsen. I don't have any personal experience, but have read some good comments on ASP and elsewhere.
Danish brands have been hot over the past couple of years so you will pay a significant premium for the quality compared to other brands. You might also consider looking for the Bentley brand. These are machine turned stummels that are then hand finished by Mr. Nielsen.

Ted - I'm not familiar with the Bentley. Here is the "Nimbus," however, in a recent ebay listing.
