Well, I got my big birthday TAD in last week, so this week I thought I'd treat myself to some birthday PAD! So here it is, a NOS Aldo Velani "111' Bulldog! This pipe has a very slight bend to it, but IMO not really enough to call it a "bent" pipe, it's not even a 1/8 bend. I'm going to dedicate this pipe to Va's, as the bowl diameter is perfect for them!
If my suspicions are correct, I might have some more pipe/baccy related stuff coming from my wife as well! If so, I'll be sure to let y'all in on it!

Great glory, those tins would hold me for about a year, nice product. The pipe is a gem, a nice stylized

take on a bulldog, classic with a bead line but with unique proportions to the bowl. Love them bulldogs.

Very nice did you pick that up at your local B&M? If so I'm definitely going to have to make a trip up there. I love Aldo Velanis and never see them except online.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it! I don't know what my wife has in store for me, but the suspense is killing me!
@shaintiques Yeah Dave, I did. I think he's got two or three more NOS Aldos, I know he at least has a Dublin and a Billiard.

Thanks guys!
@natibo. I actually just had some quiet time with the pipe, some Blackwoods and a Coors on the side! I just got off work this morning, and the wife is at work, haha!
