Italian Estates: Ascorti Partially Rusticated Horn Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-006-44410
In 1969, two Castello craftsmen, Guiseppe Ascorti and Luigi Radice, left the workshop to establish their own business that would become known as Caminetto. The brand flourished into the 1970s, eventually becoming one of the most popular marques in Italy at the time. This workshop is where Roberto Ascorti, son of Guiseppe, got his first taste of the pipe-making world. When his father's workshop was full, he ventured off on his own to create the Ascorti brand before Guiseppe eventually joined him after Caminetto closed.
Sweeping from button to bowl, this Horn from Ascorti is a rarer shape from the marque. This pipe in particular goes against the normal shaping cues from Ascorti, with an Acorn-like bowl paired to the softly bent shank-and-stem arrangement out back. The cumberland adjacent hues of the acrylic stem pair well to the ruby-tinged stummel, rusticated to provide plenty of texture for the fingers to enjoy.
