I'd bought this gorgeous Cristiano years ago and gave it to my brother-in-law. He never smoked it, and just gave it back to me. It's a Group 5 (or 4, but it's big) rusticated straight pot. It had maybe one bowl through it, no cake, and I've been using it to smoke the MacBaren's The Cube crk69 sent me. I LOVE it!! I guess it's easy to like a pipe you origianally picked out
Here's the picks my bro took. Remember, it's big and hand-filling; definately a man's pipe, my now second favorite pipe is my delicate little girly Group 1 French Butz Choquin straight smooth billiard.
Here's the pics:

That is a real nice one, too bad your brother-in law never gave it a go.

Nice. I like the insert in the stem. Judging by the rim and the nice polish on the stem, doesn't look like it seen much action at all.

I guess it true... "What goes around comes around."

I'm glad it came home to you.

That is a nice looking pipe. Conjures up images of a log cabin in the woods.

Yeah, guitarguy. With a Les Paul through a Marshall if you have electricity or an Epi hollow body in red or TV yellow if you don't.

Nice looking pipe. That's cool that it found it's way back to you. I like when that kind of thing happens.
