Smooth Bent Brandy Tobacco Pipe

Claudio Cavicchi is a master of his craft, and in accordance with his exacting standards it can often be difficult for the rest of to discern why one particular, beautifully-grained smooth briar was not chosen for one of his "C" stampings. Such is the case here, as this seamlessly smooth bent Brandy, decked out in flame grain and birdseye galore, is the sort of briar most artisans wouldn't have hesitated to place their highest grade upon.
