Just got these in the mail straight from Italy.

Beautiful pipes there Kyle.  I especially like that first one.

Nice!

Very nice. I like the color and really like the grain on the second one. Enjoy!

Nice looking pipes!  I aleays liked the aroma of a pipe, I need to give it a whirl soon to see if it is something I would enjoy, I have a couple of Grandpa's cheapo's I need to give a whirl

Good idea, but don't base your final opinion on grandpa's cheapos any more than you'd judge cigar smoking on some cheapos.

nice looking pipes.

Some nice gear there Kyle. (As if there were any doubt )  Where in Italy do those hail from?

Good point -- but it's also been my experience that the price of a pipe (like the price of a cigar) isn't the determining factor, but just one of many considerations in establishing it's actual value.

Very nice, Realy digging the bent stem..

Rich, makes a good point about the pipes. Those two pipes cost less than $80 for the pair shipped from Italy. I have 7 pipes from this pipemaker and all have smoked exceptionaly well. There are a few black spots in the briar that wouldn't pass on a higher end pipe, but cosmetic flaws are something I can live with as long as the pipe smokes well. There are alot of hobby style pipe builders on eBay that sell great smoking pipes at hobby level prices.
