| I received
your lovely Pipes. I too feel badly that you had to part with them! They
both are works of art and you have kept them in top condition. They arrived
safely in part due to your fine packing job. Thank you!
Richard L., South Salem, New York, USA November 27, 2000 |
| I got the
pipes in the mail. They both look great!! Very happy ...
Allen H., San Jose, California, USA January 14, 2001 |
| At three
in the morning I kissed your (now mine) pipes welcome. They are beautiful.
Just beautiful. I will cherish them and enjoy them.
Manfred Z., Falmouth, Maine, USA February 4, 2001 |
| The pipes
arrived today. They are both perfect!!! They make a great addition to my
collection!
Richard W. B., Jacksonville, Florida, USA February 7, 2001 |
| All pipes
arrived and each is more beautiful! You are most kind!
Samuel R., Jacksonville, Florida, USA March 16, 2001 |
| The pipe,
she has come! It is exactly what I have come to expect from Franco the
Great! Pristine, immaculate and gem like! After receiving my last pipe
from you I knew what to expect and everything that I had imagined, is in
this latest pipe. Pictures can never do them justice, its just not possible
to capture depth. This pipe sparkles.
Randall S., Columbia, California, USA March 27, 2001 |
| Received
both pipes in fine condition and smoked same ... outstanding!
Roy P., El Cajon, California, USA April 3, 2001 |
| I received
the pipes today: the packing was excellent and both pipes are absolutely
superb ... Once again I offer you my most sincere thanks for sharing pieces
from your wonderful collection with me. It was truly a pleasure dealing
with you, and I am quite pleased to have met such an interesting fellow
pipe collector and friend.
Tim V., Dover, Delaware, USA April 18, 2001 |
| BANG! has finally come today!
All the way from Milan! Perfect package! Thank you for very much!
I'm now enjoying wonderful puff new (and the first for me) Bang with 'Rattray's Old Gowrie'. Masahiko S., Tokyo, Japan April 25, 2001 |
| Franco,
the Canadian just arrived. How beautiful! How light! The only straight-grained
Canadian Dunhill I've ever seen! Thanks a million.
John A. F., New York, USA May 8, 2001 |
| I received
the Dunhill Red bark ODA Dublin this afternoon (Tuesday). It is a beautiful
pipe. Thank you for everything.
Arturo V., Los Angeles, California, USA May 9, 2001 |
| The pipes
arrived a few days ago and I have inspected and smoked each several times.
Your packaging of the pipes was magnificently efficient...and the overall
conditioning of each was impressive. I must compliment you on your capabilities.
Russ A., Potomac, Maryland, USA June 15,2001 |
| Hi Franco
... Today I received the pipe and I am extremely pleased, and it smokes
wonderful.
Michael B., Houston, Texas, USA July 4, 2001 |
| Yes, I did receive the pipe (sorry,
I forgot to e-mail you): it is a beautiful piece, and I thank you for letting
it into my collection. It's one of a kind. Thanks again for your patience.
Mike D. G., Waukegan, Illinois, USA September 20, 2001 |
| The pipes
arrived today and are excellent. I have already smoked the billiard (with
some Dunhill "White Spot") and it smokes as well as it looks. Thanks for
sending them so quickly and am very pleased with them.
Mark H., London, England October 16, 2001 |
| I have
just received the pipe this morning. I am so happy and proud to represent
the great Bolognesi in my humble collection. It is truly magnificent, and
I will associate it with you my friend, forever. Again, many thanks.
Charles A. N., Boston, Massachusetts, USA October 27, 2001 |
| Franco,
the pipes arrived today. Thank you for the fast shipment. They certainly
are beautiful and I look forward to smoking all of them.
Ralph T. W., Austin, Texas, USA November 14, 2001 |
| I received
the pipe over the weekend, as always I am impressed with the condition
of the pipe, if I did not know better I would say it was new.
George R., Brookline, Massachusetts, USA October 29, 2001 |
| ... I opened
the box and "wow". An amazing site. Two of the most beautiful pipes that
I have ever seen. This is the first time I own a Castello pipe and I am
proud of it ... Once again my thanks for a very professional business transaction.
You have now one dedicated customer and most important "friend".
Bassem D., Amman, Jordan November 2, 2001 |
| The pipe
arrived yesterday and it is absolutely pristine!! Thanks again for the
great addition to my collection. I hope I will be buying from you again.
Emery B., Jacksonville, Florida, USA November 6, 2001 |
| Good news
... the GG 65 arrived today. The pipe is outstanding and I am very, very
happy with it. Thanks again.
Rich E., Passaic, New Jersey, USA January 11, 2002 |
| The pipe
has arrived! And, it is far more beautiful than the photos portrayed. It
is simply a gem. I cannot begin to thank you for how you handled this transaction
and the accommodations you made for me regarding the "Richard Dunhill".
Enormously pleased and grateful!
Robert L. E., Springfield, Virginia, USA December 3, 2001 |
| Beautiful
pipe arrived today! Outstanding band and blast! Another gem from your collection
to mine. I really appreciate this piece!
Edward A. L., Chicago, Illinois, USA December 3, 2001 |
| It's the
ne plus ultra, the sine qua non, resplendently numinous, in short, it is
great. Light as a gnat's balls and smokes like an angel's breath - this
is one outstanding pipe. To me, it is the ideal, the perfect pipe in size,
weight and elegant appearance. And to get a Dublin in a DR 'E', of such
outstanding quality, is rare indeed. Thanks a million - it is now my #1,
El Supremo, El Magnifico pipe!
John A. F., New York, USA January 13, 2002 |
| E' arrivata,
ed è bellissima! E' tanto bella che sembra 'finta'. Ti faccio come
al solito alcune domande: ...
Francesco F., Roma 02 Febbraio 2002 |
| Ho aperto
il pacco che non arrivava mai e sono rimasto senza fiato ... come potrò
"dar fuoco" ad un oggetto simile?
Maurizio D., Torino 07 Febbraio 2002 |
| The pipe
has arrived, its beautiful. Thanks very much and hope to do business with
you again.
Ramiro L., Managua, Nicaragua February 11, 2002 |
| The Dunhill arrived today. It
is so beautiful I was reluctant to smoke it, but, as promised and
in your honor, I am enjoying a bowl of Dunhill Nightcap as I am writing
this. Grazie Franco!
Jimmy T., Wagener, South Carolina, USA March 3, 2002 |
| Ma che razza di scherzo è
questo? La pipa è nuova!
Io l'avevo chiesta usata. Questa pipa vale molto di più di quello che me l'hai fatta pagare (ma non t'illudere, non ti manderò altro denaro). È la pipa più bella che mi sia capitato di vedere: non ci credo ancora che posso fumarla e per ora non la fumo. Massimiliano B., Tortona 19 Marzo 2002 |
| As I sit here Friday evening
smoking my new Castello I think of you and I want to thank you so very
much. It's beautiful and I like it very much.
Ken L., Calumetcity, Illinois, USA May 25, 2002 |
| ... the pipe was there. Smoked
it immediately! Very fine smoke, and a great looking pipe. Thanks again,
I look forward to doing more business with you.
Rob C., Concord, California, USA June 9, 2002 |
| The pipe has just arrived. It
is beautiful! Thank you.
Ed C., Ponoka, Canada June 10, 2002 |
| The Castello
56 arrived in great condition. It's better looking than the photos. Love
it.
David E., Saint Louis, Missouri, USA July 31, 2002 |
| I am pleased to tell you that
the Castello arrived this afternoon, in perfect condition. It is a beautiful
pipe, even more so then depicted in the photograph. The quality of your
goods and the professional, friendly service you provide have made me a
new, happy customer.
Ed H., Saddle Brook, New Jersey, USA August 1, 2002 |
| Received the Castello Rhodesian
Wednesday. The Pipe is beautiful, much better than the picture, it is really
a work of art. I will always enjoy this pipe, it is prefect. You have wonderful
merchandise and a great website.
Keith K., Gardena, California, USA August 3, 2002 |
| You are the goose who lays the
golden egg: you offer the nicest pipes, on the nicest site I've seen.
I received the double faces Castello today: it is spectacular and I absolutely love it. A unique pipe that will definitely become an excellent addition to my collection. Thank you so much. Mike F., New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Sept. 30 and Oct. 4, 2002 |
| The Castello just arrived. What
a handsome piece. It is not as large as I thought until I received it,
a manageable size for personal transportation to my club and to Lodge.
It will be seasoned with some Dunhill - My Mixture 965. Rumi M., Penang, Malaysia October 10, 2002 |
| Franco: I received the Castellos.
They are gorgeous! They have immediately found a place on my desk pipe-rack,
where the gems of my collection go.
David W., Encino, California, USA October 29, 2002 |
| Thank you for this Fine Pipe.
I have inspected it: the condition is perfect as I have come to expect
as normal from you but I do understand it is not normal at all! I am going
to sit in my chair and lit this finely crafted gem! It is always a pleasure
to deal with you!
Richard L., South Salem, New York, USA November 10, 2002 |
| My compliments to you for such
an excellent packaging for the pipe arrived in sound condition.
As for the pipe itself, it is very well crafted, exceptionally lightweight, and pleasing to look upon. As you said, the condition is excellent. Ralph D.M., Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, USA November 16, 2002 |
| Hi Franco, I received my pipes
today and they are in excellent condition and very beautiful.
Stuart P., Lithia, Florida, USA November 19, 2002 |
| The beautifully-packed pipes
arrived in first-class shape this afternoon. Both are just as you described
them on-line; "in person", they look quite charming ...
Thanks for the great transaction. You may well hear from me again! Tom L., Amherst, Massachusetts, USA November 19, 2002 |
| Thank you so much for allowing
me to review the Castello 56.... beautiful sandblast in great condition
and my favourite shape.
David E., Saint Louis, Missouri, USA December 4, 2002 |
| Estimado Franco, en Español
te digo que eres una buena persona y que has ganado un cliente o un amigo
como quieras.
Javier S., Malaga, Spain December 10, 2002 |
| I just received the Dunhill shell
Dublin. Franco, you are a master at packaging. I had a hard time opening
the box. All I can say is WOW!
This pipe is brand new, just as you described it. Felix E., Long Island City, New York, USA December 16, 2002 |
| The Red Bark Don arrived today
and I am very pleased. I appreciate your careful packing ... the cigar
box is perfect for shipping a delicate pipe.
Robert U., Asheville, North Carolina, USA December 15, 2002 |
| ... they smoke just like new
and I thank you again for letting me purchase some of your superb pipes
and I will care for them as you would.
Stuart P., Lithia, Florida, USA January 12, 2003 |
| The two Dunhills arrived this
morning and I could or would never imagine their condition! They are in
superb shape. Both the 1978 and 1989 are in near newcondition. It's as
if they were never smoked. The shipping took a mere five days, from Italy
to the northwoods of Michigan. The packaging was beyond great! The communication
excellent! This may sound like "sucking up" but, I must admit that, I have
never dealt with another individual like Franco! Thank you, many times
over, Franco! If something catches my eye again, I wouldn't hesitate!
Arne A. J., Kalkaska County, UpState Michigan, USA February 6, 2003 |
| I returned from our vacation
Friday and picked-up the package that evening, everything is perfect. My
wife told me that it is her favorite pipe.
Keith D., Waterford, Virginia, USA February 8, 2003 |
| The pipes arrived this morning
in excellent condition. The Dunhill is lovely, but the Castello is *exquisite*
(there's no other word for it). By looking in the bowl, I could just barely
see that the Castello had been smoked at least once before - but otherwise
it's like brand new.
Thank you so much! James W., Odense, Denmark February 12, 2003 |
| Now I received the package that
was divided into 7 parts. I liked very much even which pipe. And Tamper
is the glad present to me.
I'll continue to use these carefully. Fumio O., Tokyo, Japan February 14, 2003 |
| Good afternoon Mr. B: pipe arrived
today and I am more than satisfied, very fine pipe. A pleasure to know
you.
Jim V., Chesapeake, Virginia, USA February 22, 2003 |
| The doorman gave me the so-much-expected
packet. I was exhausted but I wanted to see that "Natural Vergin". Very,
very nice pipe indeed.
I could no longer refrain to taste it. I filled 1/3 of the bowl with Ashton Old London Pebble Cut and ... aaah! Franco that's the good side of life! And you are right: the pipe is like a new one. Thank you so much for that good deal. Serge A., Bruxelles, Belgium February 24, 2003 |
| The Bang Pipe is simply wonderful,
we love it (including my wife). It is absolutely marvellous how you take
care and love your pipes because the Bang Pipe is in such a perfect condition
(Grazie mille Franco!!!).
I am proud to own now a Bang Pipe that has been for years part of your collection! Many thanks again Franco and here are my kindest regards from Luxembourg to you. Jean-Claude R., Luxemburg March 1, 2003 |
| ... beautiful pipe, and your
daughter was very kind and helpful.
John R., Los Angeles, California, USA March 14, 2003 |
| The pipes arrived today in beautiful
condition. I am very happy with them!! After a very stressful day
at work, I came home to find them on the entry table. I sat outside with
my wife, put on your sons' CD, we poured 2 nice glasses of Glenfiddich
30year single malt, and I smoked a nice half bowl of Cornell and Diehl
Briar Fox Virginia in the new dress pipe...
