Let's See Some Pics of Your Moretti's!

[Hawker]

Here's a Moretti Dutch, Just picked it up today...


My Girlfriend are two hours away from where we live on a small vacation, and I found a tobacconist, and some antique shops. Lot of fun. The guys at the antique shops had no idea what-so-ever about pipes, and the guys at the Tobacconist where answering all my questions. I even bought a Makers Mark Cigar a small twist cigar punch, and at the antique shop, I bought an old Gem Micro Matic single bladed razor. I've had fun today.

Guitar, with the HUGE size of that pipe your not trying to over-compensate for something are you. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ha! The only thing I'm trying to over-compensate for is lack of Moretti's. I figure this one at least counts as three... And lack of nice pipes... And lack of facial hair... and lack of money... pretty much everything but what you may have been leaning towards Hawker!!!

Latest acquisition, my 23rd. This translucent acrylic stem is by far my favorite style, of all that Marco creates.....

 

[Pipe Smoker]

Man, that one is gorgeous!
Nice acquisition.

Check out the grain on this latest addition. The straight grain might not impress Fred Hanna, but I was speechless when I pulled it out of the blue velvet pipe bag.

Been saving for a Tinsky 2012 Xmas Pipe & had a moment of weakness & couldn't resist this Moretti 1/2 Bent Brandy from Briar Blues for $100.
Showed up yesterday and is in like new condition.



Loaded up & ready to go with Boswell's Berry Cobler. Smoked great.

My first Moretti, very impressed, nice workmanship. Thanks Dutch for pointing them out.

Hawker, that is a gorgeous Bent Brandy. Glad I could be of assistance in helping you build your collection, and I hope you are as happy with it in the long run as I am with mine! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Dutch - I'm with you 100% on the grain on that pipe - stunning! :cheers: :cheers:

Hawker - congratulations on a great purchase! :cheers: :cheers:

I used to drink Asbach brandy years ago (it was a couple of guys I worked with that put me onto it) - great stuff.

My latest acquisition, from Marco's "Collection" series. An 8.5 inch by 3 inch Cavalier with a morta foot.....

 

[Slide]

Dutch looks like another couple of great additions to your collection! LOve the straight grain and that cavalier is crazy!

Hawker - I'm glad you saw that pipe first! Great find!

I'm becoming more friendly with the cavalier shape, but the extension to the front serves no purpose other than to extend the line of the shank through the bowl. Thus it seems to be odd.

Alfredo, actually the cavalier design is very functional, as it serves as a moisture trap, similar in function to the Peterson system pipe. With a cavalier, you should experience a cool dry smoke, and rarely need to use a pipe cleaner during smoking.

I have 3 in my collection now, including a Sadik Yanik cavalier, as well as an old GBD Collector Prehistoric. They are all very functional in design. A classic example of the old adage, "Form follows function."

Thanks for the comments guys! 8)

HOW'S THIS?!?!?! (Dang you Dutch for getting me into these beauties!!!)

Talked to Mr. Marco for a week or two, and he made it exactly how I pictured it! Even better actually. It goes right along with my Super Magnum Oom Paul! Now I have my very own "Custom Super Magnum Fan Moretti!!!
