New pipe needed

[mitchv10]

Well christmas is not to far away, My mother is going to be buying me a new pipe. I just bought a erik nording last week. Any advice on a new pipe, around the $100 range? Do any of you know if cupojoes.com reputable?

Bought a Dunhill from Cupojoes, nice people.

Heres a site that you don't see very often thats interesting for European Pipes. I bought a Savinelli from these guys:

Lots of nice pipes for $100. Don't forget Frenchies for an estate pipe. $100 will buy a helluva pipe from him.

Happy holidays!
