If there are crappy Savs or Petes I haven't heard much about them. I have one of each and they're both fine smoking pipes.

But what Shawn said is worth considering. Work with cobs or a modest meerschaum - no drying time and no flavor ghost. Both cobs and meers are excellent to smoke until you find you way around to the briar that looks and feels just right.
