Calabresi pipes

[Haebar]

I am curious how these look and feel in person and how they smoke. I have my pipes I don't need picked out and just have to talk myself into it. Some first hand encouraging thought might just be enough to make me pull the trigger.

I got a Canadian in yesterday; will post picture of it tonight. I got in late last night and was too tired to fool with it. It is a pretty good sized pipe, very dark brown stain, and no stampings. Makes me wonder if it really is a Calabresi... It seems to be well made however. The dark stain does a good job of hiding fills, and there are some, but you have to look hard to see them. Wondering how it will do with some heat when I smoke it... wondering if it will make the fills become more apparent.

Oh, I ordered some of her "basket pipes" and they were a big disappointment. They were very small pipes for the most part. Thought I would buy some for a friend who is opening up a smoke shop, but don't know if they are big enough for that purpose. They are more suited to smoking some other substance.
