Ardor Pipe

[grove53]

I'm looking for some info on an Ardor pipe I recently bought. Its a tan rusticated Canadian shape made originally sold in 1995. It's unsmoked. The stamping is Ardor, Erro, 504 (I believe is the shape) and 28 in an oval. I have tried to find something about the Erro line but can't find anything. I have a couple Ardor Urano bamboos that I really like. My Ardors and Don Carlos pipes are my favorite smokers. But would like to know more about the Erro. Any help would be much appreciated.

Check their website. I didn't see an email address but, they might have it hidden somewhere. There is a lot on the site.

I’ve been to the Ardor web site but they don’t mention the Erro line. They mention other lines that are available today. They also mention the “DR” stamping on the pipes. My Erro doesn’t have it. It’s a pre-1999 pipe which is the year Angelo (Angelo (father) and Dorelio (son) started the Ardor line) passed away. Not sure if that has anything to do with anything or not. That’s why I was hoping some of the wise ones on this forum might know something.

Erro is Portugese for "error". Could this have been a second? There was also a famous artist whose last name was Erro, with an accent over the "o". Other than that, I got nuthin.

Interesting.

One thing I've read is that Ardor wouldn't put their name on any pipe that was substandard.
