Wow! That's a sweet pipe! Please let us know how it smokes. I hear they're good smokers and I've been eyeing them on the bay for awhile. I might have to pick one up now, after seeing this one. Congrats! Enjoy.
I just tried my Mario Grandi pipe this Memorial Day and it did not disappoint! Great smoke no problems with the draw I even like the weight. I'm definitely going to keep searching for more MG estate pipes!
I've see a lot of Mario Grandi's and am always impressed with the looks and shocked by how inexpensive they are. I hope it smokes as well as it looks. Please post your smoking experiences with this fine looking pipe.
That is an absolutely beautiful pipe, Deleon.
I'm glad to hear it smokes as good as it looks. Bet you had one heck of a Memorial Day with that beauty. :worship:

I have a bunch of Mario Grandi's. Some are great and others are just ok. They have some QC issues, and their pipes are hit or miss on smoke-ability. About half of the Grandi's I have are actually good smokers. You get what you pay for. I hope yours are drilled correctly, and the draft hole isn't 3/4 of an inch higher then the bottom of the bowl.
Yes and hello:
This is THE previous owner, MacKay D James, of the Grandi originally featured in this post. I'm glad you enjoyed the pipe buddy, deleon. What a way to enter into a work day too.
