Brebbia

[Grumpy11]

Ok, so I was looking around on the Danish Pipe Shop inventory and ordered a Brebbia I liked. I figured maybe I was taking a chance in a couple ways. Ordering a pipe from Denmark to Florida. The tracking number says that after a week the pipe has been sitting in Chicago. I'm not much of a fan of USPS.
Number 2 is what do you folks think of Brebbia. I really like the style but have no clue about how they smoke. It isn't a Castello. But it was only $113 plus shipping.

My brebbia bent bulldog is one of my favorite pipes, smokes like a champ.

A few of the old hands on Forums highly recommend Brebbia. I first encountered the brand when they were doing some odd bulging asymmetrical shanks and such, that put me off the brand, but from all reports, they are well made pipes that smoke well.

I love my 301. It was a nice addition to my billiard heavy collection.

I have more than ten Brebbia pipes—no complaints here.

I like my small poker by them well enough.

I love my Brebbia Iceberg!

I had one Brebbia and it really bit the bulldog. Was not a good smoke at all.

I love my Brebbia Iceberg!

Out of curiosity, is yours stamped "Jceberg" with a "J"?

One of my top 5 pipes is a Brebbia Avanti. It's getting a rest after being in daily rotation for several years, and will go back into daily rotation in a couple of months.

It is likely stuck in Customs.

my oldest pipe is over 20 years old and is a great smoker. Oh yeah it's a Brebbia Canadian by the way. See if you can contact customs in that area and tell them it's a briar pipe and isn't made out of toxic material. A few years ago they started checking out tobacco paraphernalia (for lack of a better term.) to make sure it's not toxic. Seriously had to call on several things since then. Ironically I found out because customs called me to ask me what it was and what it was made out of. Or you can wait and more likely get it or end up getting a refund and having to have them send it twice. And that issue came from way up above anyone at USPS by the way.

I love mine more

No, it's pretty clearly stamped "Iceberg".

 

[TheIronMonkey]

Thanks, mine has a “J” instead of an “I.”

I have a couple of Brebbia pipes, but this is the oldest one. Stamped MPB until after 1968, then Brebbia. This is also stamped Golden Gnome which I think was one of their better pipes. (don't quote me on that). A simple billiard that smokes wonderfully!

 

[AppalachianPipe92]

I have a Brebbia lovat that smokes really well. Unfortunately, I don't reach for it enough

Probably. I hope that's all it is. I ordered a couple Castello's from Canada.

 

[Grumpy11]

Took a couple weeks.

I've had several, but still have this little beauty. They've all smoked very well.
