I picked up another nice little ready-to-smoke pipe from my antique connection today. It's an Italian made pipe, but that's about all I know about it. Very clean, and I couldn't pass it up for a $20 bill.
I didn't have anything even close to this color in my collection. The light nut brown color is really growing on me. It's a pleasing contrast against the dark grain and bird's eyes.It looks somewhat like a well-smoked Savenelli second; it could even have started out unfinished. That is
the sort of golden brown they gradually become. I think Sav may have a billiard with a slightly canted
bowl like that.
