Xmas Italian pipes?

[Ben.R.C]

I’m a lucky guy, I am getting a Ser jacabo, Caminetto, and Costello. The first two are estate pipes, Costello will be new and the big gift. I got a nice little Xmas bonus from work! These are my first “fancy” pipes. Fancy to me anyway. I’m a sucker for Italian pipes.I’ll post pics when I have all three.

Anyone else getting something new?

Congrats on a fine Xmas present to yourself
Do post pics when they arrive

Looks like you decided to spring for more expensive pipes. Congrats. Looking forward to the pics.

I have one Italian pipe, and it’s also a Christmas pipe. A ‘93 ascorti I got from @Jwebb90 it’s a beauty. Enjoy yours bro

It's a great gift to get a Castello (not Costello, he's a brit singer), a very distinctive pipe!

I have this idea for my cellection, to get at least one of every Italian pipe maker that I can and, of coarse, I have to like and be able to smoke said pipes. I will likely have to limit to a few a year so no rush but this idea pleases me. Especially the shops that spun off from Castello. Does anyone know of a good history write up on Italian pipes and makers?

Yea, you mis-spelled "Christmas"...........................................

The trouble with spelling is you have to demonstrate your capability at all times. Great set of pipes you are getting, particularly the Caminetto and Castello.

don't know yet. But I do have my eyes on one pipe. Amazing part is I really dig it and it's under 100. Won't drop hints till I know for sure that I bought it or that I can't.

 

[Ben.R.C]

Thanks! Bigger and a little pricier, still under 300, also they are esthetically ideal. I also ordered a few old British pipes under 200 that are supposed to be good smokers.

Well, I will unapologetically fail your requirement. I can’t see super well, so I won’t catch all typos, and I’m not a great speller to start with. If it bothers you, please skip my posts

I hope you're a young billionaire. Here's a link to pipedia.org listing Italian pipe makers. Another approach would be to go to smokingpipes.com Italian estates. You'll get a pretty full list. As a bonus, the prices are less than new, the condition is accurately described and they'll take unsmoked returns.

Otherwise, you can buy this book (500 pages), a 2020 publishing:
