I started smoking in Dec, 2012. I soon realized I needed pipes for a rotation. So I was off to Ebay. I have around a half dozen other pipes currently being cleaned or culled out. Only the Bonaquisti and the Savinelli Autograph Grade 000 cost over $100, and the Ser Jacopo was $85, all the rest were from $10.00 to $45.00. Mike Meyer, who has taken over pipe repairs for Walker Pipe Repair cleaned the Autograph and the GBD in the Syroco Rack

Savinelli Autograph with an unusual shape.

From left Bonaquisti, GBD Virgin, Ser Jacopo, Radice Rind with a severely charred rim.

Pipe on left is a carved Dragon by R. Arzuagi (no other identification) GBD Rhodesian, GBD petite nose warmer, T. West old western.

Top is a Bertrum Washington DC, Savinelli Green Gator, the Ben Wade from my brother that started me on this path, Savinelli Tortuga.

A project Dublin shape, I'll post pictures when I finish.

I meant to post this picture of the Autograph instead of the same one twice. OOPS. And the GBD's are some of my fovorite pipes. I really enjoy them, I have two more that still need cleaning. I can't even get up the nerve to smoke the Sav Autograph. So far I've just admired its beauty.

Nice pipes sir.
I have checked other threads and cannot find what GBD stands for. I know it is a pipe brand but also don't see those initials on anyone's site. Please help.

Exactly right Old Cajun.
The company was founded in Paris France in the 19th century by Ganeval, Boundier and Donninger.
