+1 to Steve. I've bought a few hundred blocks from him this year and it's good quality at a low price. The blocks he says are small are about as big as I make a pipe anyways.

I'll toss my hat in the Steve is awesome pile. I started by buying nothing but mini blocks and they're a great size. When I started getting small blocks I thought they were huge! Thing is, his small blocks are actually quite large.

For starters, try a mini. You'll be surprised how much wood is in there.

You can buy seasoned cherry and other wood on ebay for pretty good prices and you can get good sizes as well. But I would agree with most, go with briar and with Steve, he's great to deal with and his briar is absolutely gorgeous!

One more vote for Steve. Great to deal with and I have been able to make 2 pipes from some of his mini blocks.
