Birthday PAD!

[petes03]

Well, I got my big birthday TAD in last week, so this week I thought I'd treat myself to some birthday PAD! So here it is, a NOS Aldo Velani "111' Bulldog! This pipe has a very slight bend to it, but IMO not really enough to call it a "bent" pipe, it's not even a 1/8 bend. I'm going to dedicate this pipe to Va's, as the bowl diameter is perfect for them!
If my suspicions are correct, I might have some more pipe/baccy related stuff coming from my wife as well! If so, I'll be sure to let y'all in on it!

Thought I'd post the pic of my birthday TAD as well since they kinda go together.

Great glory, those tins would hold me for about a year, nice product. The pipe is a gem, a nice stylized

take on a bulldog, classic with a bead line but with unique proportions to the bowl. Love them bulldogs.

Very nice did you pick that up at your local B&M? If so I'm definitely going to have to make a trip up there. I love Aldo Velanis and never see them except online.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it! I don't know what my wife has in store for me, but the suspense is killing me!
@shaintiques Yeah Dave, I did. I think he's got two or three more NOS Aldos, I know he at least has a Dublin and a Billiard.

Happy Birthday and congrats on a beautiful pipe.

 

[petes03]

Thanks guys!
@natibo. I actually just had some quiet time with the pipe, some Blackwoods and a Coors on the side! I just got off work this morning, and the wife is at work, haha!
