Any one own a Posella? What is your opinion of it?

I own two. The smooth one, I've had since the 1980s, and have really enjoyed it, though I don't smoke it as often as some other pipes. The rusticated one is a more recent acquisition, and it's great. The rustication is fascinating, the wood good, the construction above average, and the pipe smokes wonderfully. I think they present a good value.

Both incredibly well-crafted. I like them.

I really dig both of those pipes, Greg! That is some cool rustication! And that two star is a beauty thanks for the pics :cheers:

Very nice looking.

 

[Cody V]

Very well made pipes, and very affordable.
Greg talked me into a rusticated dublin nosewarmer a while back. I love it.

 

[Kapnismologist]

Yep, highly recommended.

 

[Kyle Weiss]

What kind of prices do these command...? I might go on the search...

 

[Josjor]

I'm generally not big on nosewarmers, but that rustication is absolutely amazing!

 

[mgtarheel]

The prices run from 120 to 300

I undid the laziness streak and checked 'em out, you are quite right!

I think Mr. Pease started a mini rush on those Posella nosewarmers a while back. After he posted his, they were all gone!
The man has good taste in pipes! 8)

Tell me about it! I just got on smoking pipes to look at the pipe in the 2nd picture and it was sold. I need that pipe!

I like the rustication on the 2nd, very Morel mushroom-ish.

I should have said "a mini run on those Posella nosewarmers".
Get it? Run...nose...oh forget it.

Yeah, nosewarmers will certainly have a certain "luster" to them after a few smokes.

I might have to rethink an estate nosewarmer now....

:lol!:

I'm a big admirer of Jacono pipes, and I recently learned that Vitaliano Posella is Tonino Jacono's brother-in-law, so I had to look into them. And then I had to buy one. Awaiting delivery now from IRC, and kicking myself for ever leaving Chicago. I'd be smoking it now if I hadn't.
