Gorode Pipes

[pipeman44]

Hello, fellow pipe smokers!

I have recently come upon some nice-looking pipes under the Gorode Pipes that claim to be made in Belgium but are sold on eBay from China so I'm a bit skeptical. I have been looking for a squat Rhodesian or a ufo shaped pipe for a while and I came across a Gorode shape that I really love and it's very cheap for what looks to be a nice pipe. If you've heard of Gorode or know anything about them, I would greatly appreciate some feedback!

Any listing for Gerode under Belgium in Pipepedia? I've never seen these in estate listings on SP, for example. The Chinese pipe market has to be suspect until due diligence is done. But other members may be familiar with the brand and be able to at least confirm it could come out of Belgium.

I bought one ages ago. The drilling was severely off, and the pipe itself felt as if it was coated in a cheap plastic-y finish.

While I do not normally say negative things about pipe products as a matter of personal preference, I would recommend you direct your purchase elsewhere if you have not already made your purchase.

Bent Prince of Wales shapes are not that difficult to find.
There are very good examples from France and Italy at a slightly higher cost. (I bought a French estate Prince of Wales last year off EBay in almost new condition and killer straight grain for @$30).
I'd also check the more reliable retailers like SP and keep looking on EBay.
