Why, SHOW THEM! SHOW THEM!I don't know if my pipes quality as high end or not. The majority of my collection are Castellos, but at the same time most are Searocks and none are smooths, let alone fine straight grains. So, I have a bunch of pipes made my the best maker (in my opinion) but they are the lowest grade they make. Oh dear me, what to do... what to do???
I agree with Sable, show em! I personally really like the sea rocks.I don't know if my pipes quality as high end or not.

The very best stuff rarely shows up on eBay or at pipe shows, at least publicly. The real rarities are sold privately through contacts in the piping community. I do have a few of those items, but some have hundreds of them. All you need are the contacts and a very deep deep pocket, way deeper than mine.
Or a caveman.,,Maybe one even brushed up against the very peice of morta you're holding.
I'll see if I can borrow my wife's fancy phone with a camera....
Savinelli's Corallo di mare are rusticated and are considered one of the brand's highest grades.
Sorry, I have all notifications turned off. Their okay but I wouldn't pay the inflated prices that Blue Room is charging for them. Right now Andrey is in a position of being unable to export anything.
Usually I check on threads that I have several posts in or click the last page to see what's new. I've noticed a few times that I've gotten quoted a couple of times but leaving notifications on finds me waking up to 30+ notifications and was just getting to be a hassle to sort through. I bought that set for $250/pipe as carving is his only income and I wanted to help out and he threw the stand in for free.Hi @Chasing Embers I actually thought you had me ignored.
Thank you kindly for your reply, please accept my apologies if I might of gotten under your skin before. You are very respected here by me, I really love reading about all your knowledge and sharing here.
I would of assumed the war was having a very negative impact on his business. Ahh, the prices he was selling in the past on the Pipe Smokers Den were quite nice.
Thanks again, it means a lot to me, that you replied!
Take care!
Beautiful collection!These are most of my Searocks. I have a few others scattered around at relative's homes, my wife's car, even one friend's house in case I forget to bring a pipe. I do have other Castellos and some other brand pipes and will try to picture them soon.
