"Estella...."

[jaytex1969]

I recently shared with you my Savinelli Estella eBay pipe and hinted that Estella series info was less than prominent online, so I am starting this thread to draw out more examples and info.

Show your Estella pipes and share any related info or rumors you have. Anyone know the production dates for the series? Some have commented on stem colors and materials. Were they, in fact, the precursor to the Autographs or was that the imaginations of one or two internet seers?
Thanks for playing!

Pipedia identifies Estellas with Autograph seconds. On what authority, I don't know.

All I can add is that I have two and they smoke like a charm!

There he is, our resident Estella expert. Bradley, always a pleasure to see some of the gang.

Wow! That's quite a gang, Brad.
Do I have to exercise and develop the Tbrad Iron Jaw to appreciate it?
Once I've completed my training and my maw looks more like a pit bull, I'll have to take a bike trip to Louisiana for some gumbo and Estella smokin'...
