Ah Brebbia my favorite. I like the 3rd one. Brebbia does a really good job on their sandblasted pipes.

 

[mrgunnar177]

I really like it too! But the metal rim is cool and then I'm intrigued with the meer bowl lined one. Though I'm not a huge fan of the finish

I only have one but it is my best smoker. I don't think you would be disappointed with any of the three.

 

[mrgunnar177]

Good to know! It's either on fog these three or saving my money for two weeks and then hoping the Pete rosslare 80s is still in stock... But I'm leaning towards the brebbias I don't have one.

I like this one.

When they say the chamber is over reamed what do they mean?

 

[photoman13]

Probably means the reamed it to wood. You could always email them for more info to be sure. That is one beautiful pipe. The stem inlay really makes it pop.

 

[mrgunnar177]

Would I be breaking it in then again technically? So many pipes to choose from!

 

[photoman13]

Yes if there is no carbon build up. It all depends I suppose in what they mean by over reamed. If there is damage to the inside then it might not be worth it.

 

[mrgunnar177]

I see, I'll email them

 

[photoman13]

Go for it brother. You will make a lot of us jealous.

 

[mrgunnar177]

Haha! Just waiting on a reply

i'd pick the first one. vulcanite stem, lightweight. smooth finish shows off the grain.

2nd one, having a Meer chamber, Mmm NICE!

 

[clyde]

My experience with meer lined is they do not have the smoking qualities of the full meer and the cake, as with all meer's, requires much more maintenance. Over time vulcanite stems too require a little maintenance if you want to keep the pipe looking its very best. That said they are all nice looking pipes so if the price is right go for it.

hehe - PAD strikes again!
Tough choices. I don't think you can go wrong on any of these. Meer lined bowls intrigue me as well, and the Sun Bent Billiard has the amber stem like the Rosslare. But if you feel that you want the Rosslare more (sounds like you do), than I would recommend you hold off for it.
If it's sold, SmokingPipes should be able to order it for you, or there are other places, like James Fox in Ireland that can get it for you. But if it's toss up, the Sun Bent is a striking choice, esp with the meer lining- no breaking in and should be a nice smoker.
Out of the other two, MPB Sabbiata Sailing Bent Billiard is my least fav, but don't go by me, all that matters is what you like—have fun making your decision. ::
