Mario Grandi Pipes

[puffintuff]

Greeting all, Happy New Year,

Just picked this up on ebay, new, $50+shipping. Pretty reasonable. Anyone have any experience with this brand ?

 

[cortezattic]

Lotsa people rave about 'em. Good smokers and reasonable price, or so I hear.

They've been recommended more than once in the forums here.

I have a single Mario Grandi olivewood that I've enjoyed....

 

[unclearthur]

The more I look at them the more I think I will get one of their less wild models

 

[obelus]

I've five or six by the same maker, who also sold me my pipe cabinet a few years back. They're all good smokers. The two more wild models I purchased have such nice grain that I don't really regret buying them (even though ninety percent of the time I tend to reach for something more along the lines of a billiard or bulldog); if the briar had been purchased by a high end maker I know I could not have afforded them.

I've got a couple that I really enjoy (good smokers at a great value). The only negative in my opinion are the stems. I just don't really like the feel of them...

 

[puffintuff]

If you guys don't mind, I'd like to see them . Post your pics.

The two that I picked up as a set for $66 back in Jan. 2009.

I have 2...they smoke well and IMHO a good value.

I really need to get one! I think a Mario Grandi will be my next ebay purchase!

Great pipe for the money. You will like it fine. I will post pcitures when I can download from my computer, I don't like using outside picture sites.

 

[bubbadreier]

Strongirish, you can upload to your album on PM.com and post pictures from here, rather than a 3rd party site!

here`s my grandi pipes

 

[bubbadreier]

I like the one in the very back, with the stem resting on the EMP tin!

 

[hobie1dog]

I really need to get one! I think a Mario Grandi will be my next ebay purchase!

Here we go again, the Ebay prices are gonna be driven through the roof by the time bubba and I fight for the next 6 pipes on there. :nana:

 

[bubbadreier]

Well lets wait until the market cools down again Marty!! (its my evil plan to get one without you bidding on it, MUHAHAHAHA)

 

[surfmac211]

I have two Mario Grandi pipes and think they are good smokers. My only criticism is I don't care for the stems. I got a new one made for one of them and haven't gotten around to getting one for my other.

 

[flipflopsandshades]

Bytor, your bottom pipe is absolutely beautiful and the type that I will purchase next! Hopefully in a few months!!!!

Got one from Ebay today. When it gets here and I've smoked a few bowls, I'll let you know what I think.

Thanks!
It's a great little smoker. A little unbalanced, so it tries to tip over sometimes.
