Show Off Your Rossi Pipes Here

[ericthered]

I've been looking through the http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/show-off-your-_-here sticky and couldn't find "Show-Off" threads for some of my pipes. So, I'll be adding threads to the sticky to represent some of the pipes in my meager collection. Please bear with me. :mrgreen:
This is my Rossi Messina 8320, which is a Savinelli's second, but I didn't want to clutter up the Sav thread with a second.

It's one of 5 pipes that I picked up off craigslist. I've only smoked it once so far... it did reasonably well, although I feel like I need to smoke it several times to learn it's characteristics. I've devoted it to English blends for the time being.

Looks like it would be a comfortable pipe to smoke. I don't have a Rossi, but I do have a few that never get mentioned on any forums. But that's ok. They still smoke great and are amonst my keepers.

No photos, sorry, but I have one Rossi, a Vittoria prince rusticated, really good proportions for complex blends, and light weight for clenching, and not a fussy looking pipe, since some people don't like the prince shape for looking effete. 'Love to see them do a Vittoria in the zulu 8404 shape. Rossi are good pipes, I think, but some of the prices are bringing them into competition with the owner company Savinelli.
