How Does Al Pascia Do It?

[sandollars]

I am very curious how Al Pascia is able to ship so quickly. I have purchased pipes from them on 3 different occasions and every single time it has been 3 days or less from Italy, through Customs, and to my door! Not only does it get to me in 3 days, but they come gift wrapped in custom Al Pascia wrapping paper all bound up with a ribbon that is loomed with tiny little pipes every 10mms or so. They have always added some sort of personalized thank you to boot!

This company is a Major League Class Act in my eyes. I would LOVE to talk to the individual who runs this ship! He/she must be amazing. I had a College Professor who said "Employees do what the boss inspects". The boss of Al Pascia must be very busy.

Oh, and their merchandise is TOP quality and reasonably priced.

Anybody have any insight on this organization? I would love to hear.

Never ordered from them but you have got me curious. 3 days?!

 

[Pipelady20]

That's amazing. I'll have to look them up.

 

[sandollars]

They have an excellent selection of higher end pipes and beautiful leather. Oh, and the pipe you see is the pipe you get sent.

I placed an order with them at 1am eastern time on 5/21. It was delivered at 11am on 5/22. FedEx also emailed me 4 or 5 tracking updates on its progress. And yes, it came gift wrapped. Incredible service.

EXACTLY!!! How in the Eff do they do it???? It's mind blowing!

Did you get one of their Curvy's? I just looked and they are all sold out again. I got a beautiful Birdseye one while the getting was still good. It smokes like a dream... CHEAP TOO!

Never from them, but I get orders from Bisgaard Pipes to Central Kentucky in three days.

No, a Radice. I’ve taken a long look at the Curvys though.

 

[sandollars]

They are great smokers. Dry as a bone and it doesn't care what you put in them, there's a HUGE chamber separating you and any condensation buildup.

Do they sell tobacco?

 

[Misanthrope]

I can confirm their shipping is ridiculously fast, their presentation is top notch, and that the Curvy 03s are excellent smokers. I haven’t tried the 02s yet because they’re coming from Germany (Cigarworld) and have been stuck in “Origin Post Is Preparing Shipment” status for 5 weeks now. I wanted to pick up a couple 01s (walnut and matte black), but they didn’t have the matte black 01s this time.

I've always been hesitant about ordering from overseas. Thanks for the tip. 3 days is fast. That's as fast as I get any packages.

That's amazing. I'll have to look them up.

Theyre a site sponsor, listed at the bottom of the page.

With the fall of Big Ben, there may not be any more.

Yup. That’s a big part of why I had an accelerated case of PAD when I started, all the pipes I liked were made by Gubbels. I didn’t want to snooze and lose, so I went ahead and made my wallet cry.

Love them myself. A teacher gave me this one for graduation back in '92.

Sometimes you gotta know people!

I haven't ordered from them yet but have definitely been keeping and eye on their site...they have some lovely pieces!

Consistent with my experience with Al Pascia, they've always been top notch.

I'll also add their leather accessories are great too. I have a couple of pipe socks for lunting trips and their pipe/tobacco pouch for day trips and stuff.

Oh yeah! I love the Curvy casual pouch myself.

No tobacco
