Mauro Armellini

You know, I have two of these pipes and they are fantastic! However, I never hear anyone talking about them... Why is that? Does anyone else have an Armellini or am I the only one keeping them in business?

I have one and I love it. Im also suprised you dont hear more about them.

Agreed, they make lovely pipes.

^^ Mine.

Sometimes I think when folks find a pipe brand that is a great smoker they tend to not over talk about it since they are a great value and often the pipes will elevate in price. The latest offerings from Armellini are excellent smokers and values. I truly love my laser rusticated panel bulldog which I nicknamed the Sea Urchin it received wonderful responses at the pipe club meeting last week.

I see why you call it the sea urchin.

One of my favorite pipes. I have the calabash shape. It just keeps getting better and better with use. I am a bit surprised myself as I have mentioned them before and got zero response.

Wow, fishbanjo! That's a unique one! Fantastic. Armellini's daughter took over after his death and I haven't gotten one since she took over. I've seen them and they look great. She's put her own mark on them but kept them true enough her father that when you look at it, you know it's an Armellini. Hey, for the price, if no one wants 'em, I'll keep buying them up. That's for sure!

I've owned a few, they were great smokers.
