Help Me Pick My New Pipe

[mtgallet]

Hello all. I want to buy a new pipe. I touched upon this in a previous topic I started but didn't get much feedback. I want to buy a new pipe, not estate and I want a straight smooth briar. I want to spend around 50 or less. I came across these 2. Are they good? Is one better than the other? Is there something else I should ne looking at
brindisi: http://www.4noggins.com/Brindisi-Italian-Briar-Pipe-139.aspx
rossi: http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/rossi/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=134320
any help will be much appreciated

Both look nice.

However; the Brindisi has a very large flaw.

The Rossi looks like a nice pipe to me.

And the price is about right.

I understand that Rossi pipes are manufactured by Savinelli, which is a very fine pedigree.

The Rossi looks great, not able to get the other to load (server not responding). I hear pretty great things on the Rossi line. I personally would be happy with a Rossi purchase if that was the amount I was looking to spend.
Good luck and let us know what you pick up.

No thanks! Those are crack/marijuana pipes. Not tobacco pipes like we enjoy here.

Go with the Rossi; a fine looking pipe and the [rice is in your range. Good marriage.

Out of the two, I'd go with the Rossi. It looks to be a decent pipe. You might also want to look at the Nording "Eriksen" line of pipes. They are some dandy pipes in that price range!

Strongly second petes03 on the Eriksen pipes. Look under the Nording heading on Cup O Joes. They have a

good assortment, and I can attest these are remarkable little pipes, solid as a rock and drilled to perfection.

Frankly, I like my Eriksen better than the Nording I bought and traded away. Just the solidity. If you could

hold one, you'd buy it without question. A totally impressive smoker. You'll never regret it.

Thanks for all the help.. I'm going to look into Eriksen Nording also

 

[mtgallet]

I do like the Eriksen pipe. however 4noggins and smokingpipes dont carry it and they seem to be the only online retailers who will deliver to canada...

junior those are drug pipes :crazy:

 

[mtgallet]

So i bought the Rossi. Along with it I also ordered a tin of frog morton original and Escudo Navy flake. The only reason I bought the navy flake was because it was highly recommended so I really hope i didnt make a mistake.

Mtgallet, I haven't tried either of those, hope you enjoy your new pipe. Let us know what you think of those two tins. Happy ::

 

[mtgallet]

Will do!

That Rossi looks nice and the Escudo + FM are tasty ... enjoy!

 

[mtgallet]
