PAD-Maestro Beraldi

[papipeguy]

The Local B&M had a pipe show starting today through the weekend. I got bitten by the PAD bug and came home with these 2 Maestro Beraldi beauties.

The B&M is Tobacco Village in Whitehall, Pa. They're also showing Il Cippo and Ser Jacapo pipes. I'll try to get some more photos of the pipes this weekend.

The Beraldi's are a great value when compared to the other two makers. Some unique pipes are being offered.

I bought a Mastro Beraldi a few years ago and found that it had a tiny draft chamber; so tight that I could barely get a pipe cleaner through it. I had Walker Briar Works open it up and after that it became an AMAZING pipe. I'm hoping they fixed this.

No problems with either one, bigvan. They both smoked remarkably cool with the first bowls.

Guess you know this pipemaker, he lives in my town

Another shot or 2 of the rusticated if you'd be so kind, that one really catches my eye!

Congrats on succumbing to PAD so nicely.

Fast!

Square shanks generally don't do much for me but this particular one strikes me as sharp!
