Clarin Clay: The Canadian One (Tobacco Clay) Tobacco Pipe

Clarin Clay Pipes are the product of a partnership between professional cermamicist Edna Bertin and industrial designer Alexandre "Ale" Vichinheski, who share a love and passion for clay pipes. Fueled by a desire to elevate the status of these pipes in the minds of modern smokers, the pair founded Clarin Clay Pipes in Brazil, focusing their efforts on creating heirloom-quality pieces of the finest craftsmanship. Named after the clarin trumpet, an old wind instrument that's still used today, the duo's name honors Edna's grandfather, who played the clarin and introduced Edna to music in her youth. The workshop's pipes are defined by their refinement, leveraging traditional craftsmanship and intense attention to detail to create pipes that are impressively smooth and remarkably symmetrical. This particular piece is a Canadian, a shape seldom seen in clay, and it comes complete with a lengthy ovoid stem and a pert Billiard bowl for a balanced smoking experience. Crafted from "Tobacco Clay," a special clay flecked with oxidized sediment, the stummel here boasts the look and texture of stone.

Note: While all of our other pipes are photographed individually, these are not, and you may expect some reasonable cosmetic variation between the example we've photographed and the pipe you've received.
