Souvenirs or PAD?

[TN Jed]

Spent a week in Rome this month and did a little souvenir shopping. Finacato had a Baldo Baldi freehand that had to come home with me. Novelli was a pit stop for more Cubans and a Castello Pot ended up in the bag. Smoked a mixed dozen of Montecristo, Cohiba and Cuabas while sampling Negronis across the city.

That is awesome! Pipes I have bought while travelling hold a special spot in my collection.

Both very nice, but especially like the Castello.

It’s a beautiful dream! It was like nothing I’d ever experienced.

Looks/sounds like you did it right!

 

[warren99]

Very nice. Especially the Baldi. Must have cost more than a R/T business class ticket to Rome.

Looks like that was a mighty Fine Trip! I'm glad to see you have good taste in the acquired souvenirs!

Living all our dreams! That freehand is something else. What brought you there?

 

[OzPiper]

Well done.
What’s a trip without a couple of souvenirs ?
Especially ones which will remind you of the good times on your trip every time you light up rather than yet another snowflake dome

Looks like it was a great trip!

 

[trudger]

Better than pitching your money in a fountain! Great scores!

Man, you really pounded the PAD on that trip!!

90’s priced business class. Less than half coach price currently.

Ah Roma, and two superb pipes. La Dolce Vita.

You got a great deal then.

Si Si

I thought so. Wasn't really in the market then the atheistic arrest hit. It ticked all the boxes. They have little disposable stem condoms so you can actually try the pipe and that was the clincher (no pun intended). The staff at both shops were extremely gracious and knowledgeable.

A family vacation that was delayed due to the vid.
