So far out of the about 30 estate pipes I purchase from a Doctor's Estate Auction here in the DFW area of Texas I decided to take a few for myself instead of selling all of them. The ones I have sold I have made the money back I spent on them, so figured I deserved a few for myself. The one I am most fond of right now, well really the only one I have smoked is this Savinelli Punto Oro Gold. It smokes like a dream and now that I got the Softy Brand Pipe Bits I won't gnaw through the bit on the stem!
