    Is Rustication An Iconic Future Of Italian Pipes?

    When I am thinking of an iconic Italian pipe, I always imagine an rusticated one (like a Castello Searock or Ser Jacopo R1), similar to when I am thinking about an iconic English pipe, I imagine a smooth one (Dunhill bruyere for example). Is there truth to it, or is it only me?

    Group Size 3 Pipe Seems To Be The Perfect Pipe Size (At Least For Me)

    I usually compare the measurments of a pipe (length, chamber depth) with the specs of the coresponding Dunhill pipes, so I can figure aproximately out, what size a pipe is. Its not exact science of course. I rarely see modern pipes made in group 1,2 and 3 sizes. Most are group 4 and larger.

    Group Size 3 Pipe Seems To Be The Perfect Pipe Size (At Least For Me)

    Received a Dunhill straight billiard recently and a Castello kk 65(which seems to be also around size 3), and I am pleasently surprised how great this bowl size is, not too big, not too small. I had a size 1 dunhill a while ago and usually have group size 4 pipes, which seems to be the standard...

    Thank you for your input Ken! Very nice. Its very difficult to find the Rueben Era pipes nowadays, and 100 Dollar would ve a fantastic price.

    Charatan Size and Shapes Observation/Question

    Been looking for a nice smaller Charatan straight billiard estate pipe for a while and I noticed one thing, mostly Charatan pipes are of a bigger size (group 5) and have saddle stems. Why is that the case? Were saddle stems most common? EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title - Bob

    German High-End Pipemakers?

    So besides Design Berlin and Vauen, there are no other German factory pipe brands? What Vauen series would you guys consider top notch? Seems that Vauen makes pipes in a wide price range.

    Peterson Irish Army - Bent Pipe

    I have a Peterson Army 69 for a while. Pretty nice pipe. I use it when I travel, or if I am outdoors. I am thinking also to get a Chacom Military.

    Mastro de Paja vs. Ser Jacopo

    Narrowed it down to either a Delecta or Cymatium bent biliard. Just cant decide if to get Rusticated or Smooth. Is rusticated a more typical finish for Ser Jacopo pipes? Most pictures that I see, are of rusticated Ser Jacopo pipes.
