I won!

I usually get sniped in the last couple seconds of an auction, but not today.

Check this out:

Savinelli "Erica Fiamma" Estate Pipe - eBay (item 290363406901 end time Nov-01-09 09:477 PST)

and for less than fifty bucks including shipping.

Nice pipe. I was watching that but I've been on a bit of a spree this weekend and couldn't justify another pipe purchase. Looks great, hope you enjoy it!

Woo hoo! Lovely little pipe - love the oval-ish shank. What you gonna smoke in it? Have a plan?

[bkeske]

Yep, very nice. I looked at it as well....but instead, sprung for a couple estates; a Barber B'Line 'Special De Luxe' Bent (made by Hardcastle) for $13, and a Royal Sovereign 'Collegiate' (made by Stanwell) for $12. With shipping, a total of about $35.

Not a bad PAD day

I can't wait to get it in my hands, I payed for it within about a minute of the auction's end.

I think I will probably dedicate this pipe to VAs. I have some to try waiting for me that Ron sent as part of the newbie pipe trade.

That's a big bowl on a short-ish pipe. I'd start it with VA, too, and find out what's what but many say burley first. Would you call that pipe a dublin?

Congrats! VERY nice. Looks a little too tall for VA flakes though. I would stuff it with a favorite shredded like FM, but maybe that's just me. YMMV.

EDIT: My bad. You didn't say "flakes" in your post.

Congrats!, getting sniped ticks me off

I was thinking flake on this under-6" pipe until I saw how big the bowl was. It LOOKED like a flake but but measures like it may be something else. I'm interested to hear what shines in this lovely piece.

[Z.Kramer]

I originally said Virginias because I already have a pipe dedicated to English, and one to burleys (smoke my aros in a cob), but I suppose the best way to go about it is try each type in there and see what really shines.

Now that I think of it, I will do that with all my pipes.

I probably wouldn't call it a Dublin because I don't know what makes a pipe a Dublin

[bkeske]

Seems to me, that shape is typically refereed to as a 'stack'. But I could be wrong.
