That no one else bid on this Stefano Santambrogio beauty. I don't think it even had watchers. I set the alarm for 2am for a snipe, knowing there must be similar pipe stalkers lurking, but no, it was just me, all alone...

It arrived yesterday, wow, what a piece of work, I love it and picked it up for a very reasonable price.

Number 13 had just run it's course through a second relist when #10 arrived, was so pleased with that one I had to contact the seller Piperetails out of Italy and grab 13 as well.

Welcome to the Forum! Fixed thread title, please see rule number 9. Pertinent portion: Please capitalize words in the thread titles. Thank you, Robert.

Those pipes have a lot of style with a creative eye behind them. I especially like the bent brandy. Enjoy!

I like the top one more than the bottom but they're both very beautiful esthetically. That said they are short, stocky pipes with large chambers and I prefer longer, lighter pipes with small chambers so I would have not bid on them either.

It's ungentlemanly to allow an online service to do ones dirty work. If I'm going to snipe an item I've got to be there in the heat of the battle, even if..uhh...it is only me.
Thanks for the well wishes all, glad you didn't bid on them :D

You're welcome. And not bidding at 2 a.m. was easy for me.
They look very well made, perhaps an odd observation from just a photo. How much do they weigh?

jpmcwjr, They are ~62 grams/2.19oz. 5.12"/5.5"(10). Bowl is slightly deeper but narrower than a Peterson De Luxe 9S, about the same volume in a pipe weighing 15 grams less and approximately 1.5" shorter.
