Italian Pipe Freaks,

I scooped up this Viprati Estate tulip-y sort of thing today. Tried the usual scouring of the internet tubes and can't find any other examples or any info about what this pipe may have been made for. It says 82/100 on it, which leads me to believe it was made for some occasion. It is also dated to 2012, and the accent is black/red palm. Any Viprati experts out there know what this thing is?

Well I did a little research and I might have an answer for you. Viprati releases limited edition pipes in batches of 100 called the Salvador Dali. There was a Dali limited release in 2012.

So, this is NOT the Salvador Dali 2012 release. I found a few them online and they are a different pipe all together. Back to square one ?

My research reveals it was made for a LGBT Group in San Francisco. When referring to your pipe, you may find it confusing whether to refer to it as he or she. I'd just call it "The Viprati".
