Like the look of those Churchwarden stems, but $48 Aud+ P&P??!! Sheesh!
Must be cheaper places to get one of those.

Sadly, I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to pipes and I could spend a fortune there, I really could. 
Stems are now harder to find, well......... Stems that are worth having that is. Churchwarden's in particular are always something of a lottery as they need to be tight fitting, or you will run into trouble.
It's such a shame, one of the most respected Stem Makers for Briar Pipes and e-Pipes passed away 2 years ago and now we are all really struggling to find really high quality stems.
Unfortunately, a decent stem is ALWAYS going to cost. Yes you can get them for pennies around the web, but in the main, they are very poor.

Not bad for cheapies and quite a nice length for the set up.

They'll get funky after a while, but cheap enough to replace.
FT do 5-packs if you like them ...
Think I will get a selection of different types of long tips from FT to see how they compare.
