Rocciata Black Bent Dublin (945) Tobacco Pipe

Often when a pipemaker smooth-polishes a section of an otherwise rusticated pipe, they either stain it the same or, if the rest of the pipe has a black finish, they'll use some shade of a darker red. Brebbia, as is so often the case, defies convention and instead gives us what seems to be about half an acre of perfectly smooth, lightly stained rim. The contrast is quite attractive, and truly sets the pipe's overall composition apart.
