I picked up this set of Elba straight apples on the bay for a steal! They needed some cleaning of course but I was surprised by how well they turned out vs what I paid for them.
The brand however, I know absolutely nothing about. They are stamped Elba and Italy on the pipe but I haven't been able to find any other info on them. They look and feel like decent quality briar. Given the price and lack of details I was expecting less however they look pretty darn good.
I haven't smoked them yet. Still need to clean the inside up on both of them and run a retort. Not sure if I'll keep them or not. Just couldn't pass up the good deal on some pipes to play around with
