[QUOTE="Lonecoyote, post: 494296, member: 4073"] Adam, I own and still smoke at times my Castello, Radice, Ardor and Viprati pipes. All excellent smokers!! I know other pipers that rave and enjoy their Ascorti, Il Ceppo, Il Duca, L'Anatra pipes, which are all extremely well crafted and a bit on the pricey side. Depending on the style/design. The ones I own were purchased back when I had some money...lol. Being retired also keeps me on a budget. So, in the past I've had very good luck with an Aldo Velani pipe I purchased back in the 80's, and still a great smoker today. Aldo's are made in Italy by the Barontini family. In the past 3 years I purchased a few on eBay at extremely reasonable prices.... under $100.00, a few under $50.00.....SORRY...I must add all were new. You would be surprised if you research Barontini pipes and see what other brand names they also make. All are very well crafted and outstanding smokers. The ONLY issue I ever had with an Aldo was from the Ultima series, which was about $140.00, I needed to open the draft hole to 5/32". No fills on any of my smooth finished Aldo's. That's something I can't say about 2 of my Savinelli pipes. Aldo's come in many shapes, sizes and designs, so take a look and see if you spot one that " hits you "! I personally prefer smoking my Aldo's over my Savinelli pipes. I'm sure if you look on eBay you will find an Aldo you like for under $75.00, take a chance and it won't break the bank. In total I own 9 Aldo's and I'm extremely pleased with the craftsmanship on all. [b]PS, I agree with Banjo when it comes to Radice. But again a bit pricey[/b] [b]KEEP ON PUFFING!!![/b] [/QUOTE]
