Some smoke great from day one, others take ages to break in, and some just never smoked good. It drives me batty

Bjarne's seem like that too me. They are good pipes, but they are a ***** to break in. I like the Nording Freehand pipes. They are friggin' nice, and for the money they smoke like they have been broken in for years. The Blowfish pipes look good man, I would go for it. Between $50-$100 is a good range for a solid high-end burner.
I would take a serious look at some of the Nording Freehands.
