2018 Pipe Of The Year

[Briar Baron]

I managed to get the Savinelli 2018 POY first and then today I received the Viprati 2018 POY!

They both look great together!

Thanks for all the nice comments. That Viprati is very interesting, when I first saw it I thought WTF, then I thought wow that is an outrageous design (described as a cross between a calabash and an hourglass), then I fell in love with it and had to have it!

I ordered it as an un-smoked estate from Smoking Pipes' new European site. First order from them and all went smoothly. (I have been a customer of their USA site for about 10 years though so I did think it would be good service).

Two beautiful pipes you have there.

The Vipratri's outlandish-gorgeous, thassa fact, but oh, man, that Sav..... (There are times when I wonder if I'm overly in love with Savs, but then my better sense takes over again & says, "You're kidding, right??".)

Both of those pipes are gorgeous. Congrats on 2 fine additions to your collection.

Handsome pipes. I wish they wouldn't put those rectangular plates on POY's, but this one is small and better than most. Just my preference.

They look great together, and each one separately I might argue ... beautiful.
