"... Dear smoking friends and not ... unfortunately I have to give you bad news, that I never wanted to give you ... in the evening passed away my friend Baldino ... perhaps the last of the lineage of the ′′ old, great artists in the world of the pipe ..." but before that, very great character of the post modern era.... I am mourning a friend, a unique artist of its kind with a huge heart, who knew how to appreciate like few others the pleasures of life.... goodbye Baldino ......."

Thanks for that Gus, much appreciated here. Sounds like we lost a great man.

Just checked out his pipes, some real beauties there.

At Pipedia it says his favorite tobacco was a mixture of Park Lane #7 and St. Bruno Flake.
His favorite tobaccos are strong Virginia flakes, with and without Perique. These include St. Bruno, Park Lane No. 7, Escudo, Gawith Full Virginia and Flake No. 7. He usually smokes a blend he makes of 50% St. Bruno and 50% Park Lane No. 7. Courtesy TheItalianPipe.com
