I bought one and am selling it. I’m not sure what it is about Radice pipes that don’t speak to me. I look at them often on the Alpascia website. They just don’t grab me the way Castello, Moretti, Savinelli, or even Gepetto pipes do. Something about transition from shank to bowl that turns me off. Like too modern for what otherwise are pipes that steer toward a traditional design.
I sent off to Smokingpipes along with some other estate pipes.
You can get Radices for great price from either Smokingpipes or Alpascia.Fair. So you were just posting to make us sad. You succeeded.
My 2¢ - I have a few Radice pipes and they're great smokers. But I like the look of their older pipes more than those they're producing now. That's just my personal taste. I feel the same way about Ser Jacopo pipes. If you find a Radice you like then I think it'd be worth going for.
I have a number of Radices. All good smokers. I prefer the twin-bore stems when possible, but they no longer make those.
This was my Christmas estate purchase this year.

Haha yeah I was kidding. AP especially seems to have new Radices coming in on the regular.
