Caminetto: Nera Bent Brandy (05) (AT) Tobacco Pipe

A family-run company, Caminetto now boasts three generations of pipe makers, with Tommi Ascorti having fashioned this stunning bent Brandy. While its proportions maintain neoclassic shaping, it measures fewer than five inches in total length. The shapely bowl features a quite plump, curvaceous heel and an easy, gradual taper to the rim, with the particularly voluptuous disposition hinting at a Danish influence. It's paired to a gracefully arcing shank of a bit more slender design and is topped by a slender stem of pale, horn-hued acrylic, the color contrasted by the rarely seen Nera finish, the smooth, inky black stain imbuing this piece with further elegance and charm.
