Thomas Cristiano Pipes

[thebadger]

I was given this set of Thomas Cristiano pipes but cannot seem to find more information on the. Could someone help? One straight stem which looks like gnarled bark, another sherlock style smooth finish really nice briar grain and a two piece tamp. Wood box

He made nice looking pipes. He passed away a few years ago. Never seen them anywhere except P&T magazine. That’s all I know about them.

On top of what Mike said, I know the Cristiano brand is now owned and produced out of Paul's Pipe Shop in Flint, MI. Hope that helps.

I have a couple older ones and the quality is miles above the newer production ones. Make sure you know which you are buying.
