What's the opinions on Rossi pipes?

[Cool Breeze]

I'm jonesing for a new pipe and don't have a lot of extra $ at the moment.

Smokingpipes has Rossi Vittorias on sale for $38 and some change right now. They look great. If I'm not mistaken they're a Savinelli off brand aren't they?

Anyway, who has one? And do you like it?

[bluenoser]

I've wondered about these as well, definitely nice looking for the cost

Depending on the year dictates whether the pipe is a stand alone Rossi or a Savinelli.

I have a couple, but they're all older ones, so I can't really comment on whether the new ones are good smokers or not.

For what it is worth, the ones I have smoke decent.

I was looking at some of those Vittorias last October at the local pipe shop's annual sale, but I didn't buy one. That's a good price that they have, $38. What shape are you looking at buying?

I'm thinking about the Prince.
I like the idea of the wide but shallow bowl. I don't have a shape similar to that.

Here's what it looks like.

I prefer the taste of smoke from tobacco that hasn't filtered too much smoke. So I, too, like pipes with wide, shallow bowls – most of the pipes that I smoke regularly are like that.

I had a 2006 3/4 bent cherry rusticated that was good enough it got stolen before I had it broke in.
The few times I got to smoke it were pretty good,albeit I was smoking Borkum Riff bourbon and burning
my tongue regularly.The pipe stayed lit quite easily.....

I'm thinking along those lines as well.
I'm especially wanting to try it with a certain tobacco.

I love Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture for the first half of the bowl. After I get past the halfway point, the flavor turns ashy to me. Maybe I'm just puffing too hard I'm not 100% certain, but I'm thinking a shallow bowl may be the ticket for me with that blend.

I just ordered it.
I'll do a short review on it after a few bowls and let y'all know how it smokes.

[Cool Breeze]

Got it in today. Smoked a bowl of Elizabethan in it.
Haven't had it long enough to give a real opinion on it just yet, but I'm impressed so far.

If you enjoy Youtube videos, here's my video of it with a little first impression/first smoke.
