Thermofilter pipe?

[pipeanddrum]

I'm considering scratching my PAD itch with the purchase of a small and very affordable thermofilter pipe and am wondering if any of you have experience with them. I imagine they are similar to Dr. Grabows in terms of quality. If so, I think I'll be happy with it considering the minimal investment but wanted to get your sage advice.

Thermofilter was made in Italy by Fratelli Rossi in Varese. Started about 1964 and continued till about73/74. It was imported and sold by Mastercraft.... to, best I recall, Whitehall Products Co. in Wheeling WV... Division of CULBRO.

We had several "left over" and closed them out for $3.98 over a year or two... not as Thermofilter, but simply as a filter pipe, even though they were stamped Thermofilter. Pretty cheap stuff..

That was posted over at the DGCF. I have a couple simply because of the connection to Grabow and Mastercraft. They smoke fine in my experience.
