About This Pipe

The 1970s was the true golden era for Caminetto pipes, when both Pepino Ascorti and Luigi Radice made the pipes. They're getting harder and harder to find these days-- between great smoking properties and their historical importance for Italian pipe collectors, they aren't often seen on the estate market. This pipe features that wonderfully rich, craggy texture that made old business finish Caminettos so highly sought after. Beautiful work!
