Italian Estates: Luigi Viprati La Pipa Smooth Bent Dublin (Four Clover) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-006-40449
In 1972, Luigi Viprati, an avid pipe smoker, decided to carve a briar pipe "just for fun." He ignited a passion for hand-crafting fanciful pipes from briar, which still fuels Viprati to this very day. This bent Dublin by Luigi Viprati is a sinuous rendition of the shape. The high-kicking shank-and-stem arrangement forms a dramatic S-curve in profile, which ensures a comfortable jaw-hanging posture. Furthermore, the pert bowl possesses plump walls, which flare from a pronounced, ridgeline-flanked heel to a wide, circular rim adorned with a tactile rustication. Additionally, the rest of the stummel features a chestnut smooth finish, which highlights an assortment of fetching grain throughout.
