COMMENT: Design Story:  The original Montana has the following key features: (1) A Billiard-shape bowl, with a round shank, (2) An Army Mount, with a silver band around the tenon, (3) A silver band around the shank, and (4) the round briar insert. Occasionally, Bruto would make a Montana of another shape, such as a Freeform Apple, Tomato, or a Dublin. Occasionally, Bruto would make a Montana with an Apple-shaped bowl instead of the classic Billiard. This pipe here shows yet another take on this Apple variation. To put it simply, I have to draw your attention to the bowl and shank and how each goes in the opposite direction of the other. Another way to put this is by saying that the bowl is quite canted forward.Apart from all that, what makes this Montana quite unique is the fact that it is of unusual dimensions, and hence the rare name "MEGA" (magnum). So, here you have it: A freeform Montana, Three-Notes, AND MEGA! The tiny Cumberland Dunhill Lovat you see in the picture is Group 5 (yes, FIVE)!

Pipe is Stamped:  Montana ~ Fiammata ~ 1-Note ~ Mega
Pipe Code: DC252 Price: CHF 950.00  Convert Shape: Magnum Montana Weight: 137g / 4-9/16 oz Chamber ø: 23mm  --  Chamber Depth: 53mm  --  Wall Thickness:  ->21mm  --  Cleaner Passes? Yes An alternative way to view all the pictures of this pipe is: The SlideShow.

Occasionally, Bruto would make a Montana of another shape, such as a Freeform Apple, Tomato, or a Dublin. The shape of the pipe here is another of Bruto's takes on the standard Montana. It comes with a Tomato/Apple-shaped bowl. Now, if the combination of Montana+Smooth+Mega didn't impress you, how about this one: Montana+FIAMMATA+Mega. The result of this equation presents rarity itself. I have been very close to Bruto and his pipes from the first year the name Don Carlos was born, and this is the FIRST time I see (or hear of) this incredible combination of features. The photos should hopefully allow you to get an idea and a feel of what the fuss is all about. This is the kind of pipe that one would buy with a lot of confidence that he/she would be the only one in the world to own a pipe like that. The tiny Cumberland Dunhill Lovat you see in the picture is Group 5 (yes, FIVE)!
