I came across the Aldo Velani brand on pipesandcigars.com and liked the looks of a couple pipes they offered, but I don't know anything about them and pipedia doesn't say anything about them. So I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with this brand. Here are the couple I was looking at for your viewing pleasure.

They are made by Cesare Barontini, and are very nice for the price from what I've seen. I have several friends who have Velani pipes, and they are happy with them. I'm looking into getting one as well.

There is something not right about the first pic. That pipe looks to me to have some kind of coating on outside of bowl?

I have 5 of 'em and really like 'em. Never had any problems with them. Reasonable price and very well made. :puffy:

I have been looking to order one for several months now and have been asking myself the same questions that you presented here. Given what everyone says, I may have to give it a go. Thanks for bringing this one up!

I think for the money, they are definitely worth a shot. I've been eyeballing them for a while now, and I'm going to have to acquire one soon I believe.

A Velani Filtro was my first pipe, and still one of my best smokers. I absolutely love it and will definitely picking up another someday. I smoke it without the filter and I love every puff.

Thanks for this thread. I've spotted one from this maker, with .925 silver rings (fits nicely with the quote from LotR above) and was wondering about the quality of smoker it would be.

Well, I'll give my .02 here too since some of the other posts are a few yrs old now.

I own both an Aldo Velani and a Cesare Barontini and both pipes are GREAT.

The Barontini does smoke better but I would not hesitate to buy another Velani.

I bought my Velani brand new many years ago. I wish I would have bought more at the price point they were selling back then.

OH well...hindsight being 20/20 and all that right?!
