You guys better be well stocked with tobacco!!!!

Great looking pipe

 

[gravel]

Those are good looking pipes for marathon smokes! :lol:

 

[Dutch]

Those are 2 beauties guys! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

I really prefer the bents when I am smoking a magnum Moretti. They make it much easier to get the pipe lit, as you are able to direct the flame into the bowl much easier.

I'm sure you guys will enjoy your Moretti's as much as I have mine. Marco is fantasitc to buy from and work with. As his emails usually state, he is always at your disposal for any and all questions or requests that a buyer may have concerning a pipe.

He is the epitome of customer service, and raises the bar for other pipe carvers in the industry!

Thanks Dutch! This thread is what prompted me to bid on this pipe. I Almost bailed when the price got up there though.

Fatman, it is really difficult to acquire one of the magnum Moretti's for less than $150, so your winning bid is right on par.

I suspect if you ever decide to sell her, you will get most of your investment back.

Gorgeous pipes guys! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Here is a little 4.6" brucianaso with a 5/16th mortise bore that I just received this week. This one will be a joy to clench, and most likely dedicated to a quality flake tobacco.....

Just scored this slightly bent olivewood billiard about a month ago, and I am really enjoying this pipe. I have dedicated this pipe to McClellands Grand Orientals Drama Reserve, and this 2 to 1 bowl configuration is really delivering some great flavors. I also like the color of the olivewood when it heats up during smoking. The pics just don't do this pipe justice.....

 

[Jers]

Fantastic pipes Dutch - Congratulations! :cheers: :cheers:

I've missed out on this thread for a while, glad to find it again!

How does the grain in the olive wood change as the bowl heats? It sounds intriguing.

Jers, thanks for your interest. Well, when the pipe is cold, it has a very flat appearance without any shine at all to the finish. Once I begin smoking it, and it warms up a little, it takes on a much deeper colors, and the variation in the colors is much more pronounced. I am anxious to see if this olivewood pipe colors over time, in the same way nekkid briar pipes do.

Well, this thread really peaked my interest for a Moretti. I found this one last week and had to pick it up. She smokes incredibly cool and passes a pipe cleaner easily, something none of my other full bents do without considerable work. Rustication is beautiful and hangs in the mouth just right. I might be hooked :drunken:

One of the features I like most about Marco's pipes, is that the stem work is as spot on as the rest of the pipe. Congrats on a fine acquisition PnP! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

I wholeheartedly agree, Dutch. The attention to detail is fantastic! When holding the pipe up the the light, not even a sliver of light shows through between the stem and briar. This is one of the tests I like to do when evaluating a pipe. The union is perfect and tight. First rate. It'll take me a while to build up a collection of Moretti's as sweet as yours, though. I might have to try now.

Nice looking Moretti Pipe'nProf. I'm just waiting arrival of a similar one in black. Only have one Moretti so far but the fit & finish on that one is flawless. Great pipes for the money.

PnP, not sure if you have read Dr. Fred Hanna's book titled "The Perfect Smoke," but he dedicates an entire chapter to discussing the value of the Moretti pipe brand. The chapter is titled, "More With Moretti," and he goes into detail about his affection for the brand, and Marco Biagini's skill as a pipemaker. I think this says a lot about the brand, considering that Dr. Hanna's actual focus in collecting is firmly centered on extra high grade straight grains. Yet he devotes an entire chapter in his 2012 book, on the quality and value of Marco's pipes.

Plus, Marco is the most honest guy you would ever want to do business with. I know if I ever needed to return or exchange a pipe, Marco would make it right, however because of the way he does business, I have never had to consider a return. In fact in most cases, the pictures don't do the pipe justice, making the box opening always a very pleasant experience.
