So my wife has wanted to buy me a pipe for a while now, and she finally pulled the trigger one one. Apparently, she got tired of looking for a "pretty pipe" on Boswell's since she knows they are my favorites, and moved to eBay. She just told me she won me this Moretti. He calls it a freehand, but I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me could assess the shape. I love the grain on it, and the carving is beautiful. I don't yet own a paneled pipe, but I'm really digging it. Overall, it has a classy feel to it, but also a natural sort of feel. Can't wait to smoke it as it will be my first Moretti and my first real Italian pipe. Here are the pics from the Bay:
