I have heard lots of good things about Brebbia and I FINALLY found one that caught my eye.
Just a simple apple pipe.
It got here today from Italy. However, there are few things I find odd.
1) There is Brebbia's logo on the stem but no stampings on the briar. All my pipes have some form of stamping which indicates who made it, what is the model number, and where it was made. I've seen other Brebbias and they had stamping on the shank. But this one has none.
2) Inside the bowl, there is black stain, which I have never seen in any new pipe. I have seen that black stain only in the pipes I had smoked. And some drilling mistake?
3) Stem has strange powder (?)
Do these things seem odd to you too?
