Baraccini Mare Blu Smooth

I bought the Zulu 404. Pros: nice looking pipe, the steam is really nice looking Nice little smoking pipe Pros/cons depending on smoking style: The bowl is on the small side, which I like as it is a quicker smoke than a larger bowl, good for a quick break. Cons: since it is smaller, and I prefer virginia tobacco, I bubbled it, which was my mistake, should have adjust my pace for the smaller bowl. I was able to rub out the bubbles and now they just look like water marks. Was a great lesson to learn and will likely just go with rustic or sandblast from now on. Since I did bubble it, I actually like it better as I am not babying it and smoke out of it more often.

Beautiful pipe, great color. It marks easily and it does gurgle towards the end of a bowl. A quick swab with a pipe cleaner fixes that. I still really like it and would recommend the brand to friends.

A second Baraccini for me and I’m as pleased with this style too. I’m amazed at the price of these Baraccini pipes with the quality they offer. Thanks for another good pipe for my collection!

Very nice pipe!

Love the shape and color my husband really likes it alot

The pipe is beautiful, and the wide Rhodesian shape keeps it cool, but the airway is just a little too constrictive making it hard to keep the bowl primed without having to constantly relight it. Makes it difficult for a pipe cleaner to pass through too.

its very good looking! it smokes great. I like the way it's shaped these style pipes hold better in my mouth and the bowel shape doesn't get too hot. and its at a reasonable price!

I am very pleased with this pipe. The colours are beautiful and it has good hand feel when holding/smoking. The bowl is a bit heavy to be a clencher for me; however, it is still my go-to pipe.

It smokes nice.

Thanks for the help in providing me with a great pipe.

This pipe is really nice, smokes great. It's light and solid. The bit is the same quality that is found on many pipes that are way more expensive. I'm very happy with it. I recommend Baraccini pipes.

I bought for the looks. I’ve used it a few times and I can’t say anything bad about it. Appears and feels to be well made. It has proven to be a good conversation piece around the smoke ring.

I had to return the first one as the stem was very loose. The new one is a pleasure.

I love the color of this one. It feels good and heavy and stays nice and cool in the hand and the smoking experience is wonderful. Happy with this purchase

Wonderful pipe, handles any tobacco well, burns well, just all around great. I love it.

Baraccini Mare Blu - is always one of my favorite all day pipes . Always presents the Tabacco I smoke in a true flavor

Great pipe!

Good smoking pipe

At first I was worried about this pipe, I have never purchased a Baraccinni pipe before (I stick with mostly Peterson and Savinelli) but I'm trying to expand my horizon. This pipe far exceeded my expectations. It smoked well, didn't get too hot, and has a great size to it.

The Baraccini Mare Blu Smooth is one incredible pipe. I have to say it's the perfect pipe for me in looks, size, weight, feel, etc. It smokes like a boss! The smoothness of the pipe is the best. The marbled stem is a bonus plus with this one, as well as a very unique top of the bowl design that angles downward a bit. The size of the bowl is substantial. In certain lighting and angles, the bowl, shank and stummel appear to be a beautiful purple/blue.

Absolutely love this pipe. It has turned into my go-to daily pipe.

Great start!!

I admit, I was hesitant about purchasing a pipe online, but what an excellent purchase it turned out to be. It smokes great, and I get compliments on how it looks. Thank you

I am fairly new to pipe smoking. This is my third purchase and I have fallen in love with the shape. It's light and clinches without effort. I have found I get less moisture in my mouth with this pipe shape, making it much more enjoyable

I was excellent!

great pipe

Love the shape and feel of this pipe. Have used it a little over a dozen times and it stays lit with long pauses between hits.

lovely pipe that would be better with a rough finish as it burns very hot on the hand. From now on I will stay away from black matte finishes. It would also smoke better with a 9 mm filter which it does not have

The Barrancini Mare Blu is a great pipe - easy drawing, easy to keep lit. One of my favorites out of the 40 or so I own.a

Solid pipe ... I use it daily ... easy to clean

Excellent pipe

Beautiful pipe. Light, feels good in hand and smokes well. The finish on the outside of the bowl has a couple of small imperfections, or so much visual but you can feel it while holding the pipe. Stem is of good quality.

Great size bowl, feels great to hold and smoke. The finish is beginning to peel/bubble, but it doesn't affect the way she smokes.

A good pipe, for a great price.

Gorgeous piece. Stem is very nice. Well balanced in the hand. Baraccini style and form fit is obvious. Love it!!

Looks nice and smokes well, but took much longer to "break in" than expected; especially, with it being a Baraccini. A little minor disappointment but, otherwise, an okay pipe.

Nice pipe. Good first one!

beautiful blue pipe with a huge bowl on it! well balanced and I'm sure it'll smoke well once it's seasoned.

Beautiful foot and finish. Smooth draw.

Great smoker. Poor finish. After only three bowls the finish started to blister off. Had to give 4 stars because anything less does not get posted, evidently you are not allowed to give an honest review. Honest opinion 2 stars.

Smokes nice and amooth

I love everything about this beauty.

One of the best pipes I have ever smoked and I have been smoking pipes for over 60 years.

The Baraccini Mare Blu 109 is attractive and, smokes well with, good intake that lasts as, part of the medium size bowl, just close to large size. I am pleased to have good function, along with, great looks.

Beautiful piece and the draw is perfect!

He will love it

Great pipe. When you have full bend blue mare in stock notify me. Thanks

Both pipes were excellent. Service and delivery were very good.

great pipe

great pipe

Great buy and very attractive

When you’re smoking this pipe the cool essence of the tobacco comes through in full flavor. Your stance or most comfortable stance makes me feel like an aristocrat

Happy with my purchase. Good quality and a nice blue finish.

The bowl and stem on this pipe are absolutely beautiful. Smokes well

I love this pipe. While I typically enjoy a more classic pipe look, I am completely taken by this pipe. Sure, the grain is hardly noticeable and probably not super fancy compared to more expensive models, but the heavy blue finish makes up for it. The stem is just fantastic. It reminds me of blueberries and cream candy sticks I used to get in grade school. I feel that the stem is really the star of the show. It also smokes great. I have been smoking some VaPers for the last week, and I can't think of a bad thing to say about it. The apple profile is a joy to handle while smoking. It really feels like a much more expensive pipe to me.

Smokes really nice. Everyone that saw the pipe thinks it's beautiful. I have to agree.👍

Very good looking pipe, nice weight.

What a handsome pipe! I love the modern technology which allows us to dress up our smoking implements in such a way. From a distance the bowl appears to be black, but the light reveals it to be a deep, variegated indigo color. The blue swirled stem looks great, and the pipe has already received positive comments. Mine (the Zulu shape #404) has a thick, oval shank that seems quite sturdy so far. The stem insert terminates in a narrower piece that fits into a corresponding narrow hole in the shank, which means that, like other Barracini pipes I've had, it cannot be used with a filter. That's fine, as I rarely smoke hot enough to create and draw up goop from the pipe, and clean it with a pipe cleaner after every smoke. Speaking of cleaning, the draw hole in the mouthpiece end of the stem is very small. One will not be able to get a bristled or fluffy pipe cleaner through it. As someone who is outdoors often, and moves often, I tend to lose or break pipes. Therefore, I cannot justify spending a lot of money on them. At under $100, this pipe is a good value for me. I've consistently come back to Barracini pipes over the years, preferring them to the Dr. Grabow pipes I started out with. I am a smoker, not a hobbyist. I might someday spend hundreds of dollars on a more expensive designer pipe, but for now, any of the quality, affordable pipes offered by Pipes & Cigars are perfectly good for smoking and enjoying tobacco. Much thanks to P. & C. for continuing to be the best tobacco and accoutrements store on the web.

Nice cool smoke.
