Thoughts On The Maker Of This Pipe

[voorhees]

I picked up this large "Made in Italy" pipe about 2 weeks ago. Not the prettiest thing, but a lot of briar for $15 and was clean except major oxidation.

I think its a Brebbia second.

Maybe, but it does have a lot of Estella in its appearance as well which is not bad either.

. Jason it is an exact copy of mine with the exception of the colored stem . Mine is a Lorenzo Elba, Imperia.

Sure enough, very close Bradley.

Jason:
You killed the restoration, pal.
Lovely work.
It's probably a question of scale, but yours comes across as a nose warmer. Am I close?

That is indeed a ton of briar for $15.00! How does it smoke?

Thanks fnord, the stem was really bad. My wife thought is was supposed to be brown. LOL. I had to soak it in oxy for hours. Overall it's 5.5 long, has a bowl diameter of 1.0 and 1.5 deep. I smoked it once, but need more time with it.

Had to dig deep for photos of the Estella here are the 2 I found.

banjo, thanks for the picture. Its definetely related to Estella or Lorenzo. I am smoking it this morning while I listen to the PM radio show and working at the cigar shop. Loaded it up with FMC. Seems a perfect combo such a large bowl/pipe.
