@mfresa I actually enjoy the longer stemmed pipes. I'm always a bit self conscious to bust them out though, so I tend to relegate them to around the camp fire at reenactments.
@PappyJoe I found all three of these pipes at online at TobaccoPipes and they were all under $90 each. They are very well made pipes especially for that price.
Why do we “need” the number of pipe tobaccos available to us online and at the fewremaining B&M’s? Why are there so mny kinds of bottled water? Mayonnaise? Cat litter?
I could go on, but the active principle here is “Let’s make lots of money.”
Those are about the same size as the Danish freehand style of pipes that became popular back in the 1960s. Pipes created by carvers like Preben Holm and Soren Refberg Rasmussen, among others. Many Danish pipe carvers still make large pipes because pipe smokers still buy them.
You don't see these much from Cavicchi...but when he does put a Diamante out there, it is (for lack of a better term) f...cking awesome!!!!! What a gorgeous pipe!
I just received this in the mail and can’t stop staring at it. @Corey562 you hit it out of the park. I can’t say enough about the craftsmanship. You are a true artist and these pictures don’t do it justice. The drilling is also perfect. I will be loading it up and smoking the inaugural bowl tonight!
I must confess, I fall into that category: I own 5 of his pipes... And here's the most important part, with NO regrets. They are definitely well made pipes... Great looking pipe @JLehman5290 and I already know how it will smoke...😁

Found this one to be very interesting, but sold...
I tried to buy just one, honest,... i really tried....
Mastro de Paja used to be a very underrated pipe production company but they are getting more popular and expensive..
I paid under $100 for mine about seven years ago (a Mastro de Paja Brugo-2). Now I see Mastro de Paja pipes advertised for up to $600.
I really like that pipe. Now you know what to get me for Christmas...😏
I'm old fashioned. I'd be happy with a Christmas card.
