New Mario Grandi

[jeremyh]

Just received delivery from Mario Grandi of a freehand churchwarden. The stem is not super long, maybe 6 inches or so, ebonite. The pipe only weighs 46gr. This is my first factory-new pipe. I'm excited to break it in. I just need a tin of something nicer than captain black to do so...

Edit: Corrected capitalization in title, L.

Congratulations on your new pipe. I hope you enjoy it for many years.

I don't care for freehands, so the shape isn't really my style. It's got some good grain though. And cograts on your first new pipe!

Congrats on your first new pipe! I'm sure you are very excited, as I would be.
Pipe a good tobacco for its first run.

Congrats!
I have a Mario Grandi and found it very easy to break in. It took to being smoked right away and had almost a sweet taste behind it.
Hope you enjoy it.

She's a beauty! Mario Grandi go too far out there with some of their pipes, but that freehand is amazing!

Very nice. Love the gnarly look. Looks like something Gandalf would smoke.

I like it. It looks like a good pipe for a flake blend. Congrats and good luck with it.
