since my first run in with pad just a week or so ago I have acquired two churchwardens, as tiny meer, and as of five minutes ago, this beauty - another Mario Grandi

That sure is a pretty one! I have been looking at MG's myself. They sure are priced right, let us know how you like it.

The only thing I am concerned with is that they are drilled correctly, and I have no reason at the moment to doubt that they are.

The seller has great ebay ratings, and they have a 7 day return policy, so I don't imagine too much trouble should there be any problem.

They should be here within a week, I will report back as to their "performance in the field"

The two I purchased were very unique, struck me immediately and had prices I just couldn't resist - hardly seems fair to tempt a PAD sufferer in such a way...

Some are as low as $35 I think - with lots of nice ones around $60 and some real spectacular ones over $120 - certainly one in 10 is severely underpriced in my opinion (which counts for very little in this area unfortunately as I am new to the sport)

Not really my personal cup of tea...but she is striking! Hope you and her spend many happy hours together.

I have 3 Grandis. Two were really cheap, sold as a set, one was about 65 bucks. They all smoke awesome.

I like the one you bought. Unusual to say the least.

Absolutely beautiful

Light as a feather, and smokes like a dream.
