Italian Estates: Claudio Cavicchi Smooth Bent Dublin with Bamboo (CCC) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Claudio Cavicchi is known for his use of alternative mediums such as bamboo, as is the case with this bent Dublin. Displaying the form's flaring rim, the bowl also offers a sense of forward momentum with its gentle cant. Cavicchi has integrated two knuckles of bamboo as an extension and alluring accent that's then followed by a sleek, jet-black saddle stem. It's wearing one of Cavicchi's excellent honey-blonde stains, showcasing some wonderful streaks of flame grain around the bowl, with birdseye on the rim, certainly worthy of its "CCC" grading. This fine-looking Dublin has plenty of chamber, is texturally and visually stimulating and should appeal to pipe smokers who appreciate Italian neoclassic style.
