Can anyone offer any advice on pipe purchasing. I have seen inexpensive sets advertised that were made in Pakistan, but can't find anyone to comment on their quality.

Also, is it a pretty standard thing to expect a minimum of a year wait for pipes? While I don't mind shelling out the several thousand dollars for the set, it seems odd to wait 6 months to 2 years for receipt of the set.

Any ideas?

Cheers
