Well not only am I on the hunt for a new pipe in the, let's say, $30-$70 range but I want to see more action in this thread! I'm pretty much scouting out a few Bjarnes, alot of Savinellis and the occasional Peterson, any thoughts guys?

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Favorite Midrange Pipe Brand

You've got your bases pretty much covered. Before I read your post in its entirety, those were the brands I was going to mention off the top of my head. All are solid and well made. If I had to choose between one or the other, I'd go with Peterson. If I wanted a more eccentric pipe I would go with a Bjarne hands down. Savinellis are good but I don't think they measure up quite as well, at least for me.
For new pipes in that range, there are plenty of good choices over at the Iwan Ries Super Specials section.
GBD, Peterson, Sasieni are a few I've tried over the years. I've never really cared for Peterson, but many swear by them.
More choices open up if you buy estate pipes.

I don't care for the Petersons either. I'd go with the Bjarne.
In that price range you will also find some nice offerings from Stanwell. Also check out Boswell pipes from Chambersburg, PA. I have several Boswells all where in the price range of $50 to $75 which is a steal for a US hand made.
