I Think Gigi is for Me

[dcicero]

Posted a pic a while back of a Gigi bulldog that I fell in love with. I dedicated that to latakia blends. I've been on the hunt for another Gigi with a desire to stick with just 2 pipes for the most part. Finally found another in my range! It will be for vapers and vaburs. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm hoping is as good a smoker as the bulldog!

Good way to start. You will, of course, acquire more in time. It is just the way this disorder grows.

I have a Gigi bent brandy that smokes great... similarly priced to the Rossi line, which are also great affordable pipes. I recently saw that Smoking Pipes have several unsmoked estate Gigi pipes for sale at a good price ?

I haven't had too much experience, but have owned and smoked a decent variety of pipes by my standards and the Gigi just has stood out in such an obvious way for the way I smoke. Happy to discover them. Yep, got them from SP actually.

That's awesome! I saw SP had a ton of them, and boy, the price is right! I hadn't really heard much about them, so it's good to see a couple folks vouch for them. A pipe bargain is always welcome as far as I'm concerned.

I've never smoked a pipe that costs more than about 100 bucks for what that's worth. I think my Peterson 221 was the most expensive pipe I've owned. Was not my cup of tea. So I don't have a ton of experience with like perfectly made pipes. What I can say is, Gigis are nice, light, thick walls, and they clench and smoke great. From what I can tell the fit and finish quality is great too. I also like the makers story. If you pick one up I'd love to hear about it.

I bought a bent brandy from SP when that whole lot came through last month. Price was right, and I loved the finish. I've been smoking English blends out of it and enjoying it so far. It is a heavy pipe, though. There's something about the stem that makes it weird to clench for me, but I've found if I'm sitting down, and able to sit still and enjoy a smoke, this pipe is pretty sweet.

That's a nice contrast of the rustication and the smoothness of the shank. Nice bulldog!

I've looked a Gigi for years, mostly at Iwan Ries, but was put off by their weight for their size, but I'm glad to hear they're good smokers. They're handsome pipes at good prices.
