Claudio Cavicchi: Smooth Bent Dublin (CCC) Tobacco Pipe

Claudio Cavicchi is famous for many things, not the least of which is winning the world championship pipe smoking competition three times. However, this bent Dublin bears witness to a different aspect of the Italian artisan's legend, to wit, his insistence on using only the finest briar in his handmade pieces. Dressed in a light, honey-colored stain and smooth finish, striking flame grain leaps upward in exquisitely dense striations along the flare of the bowl. The broad rim undulates slightly, enhancing the handcrafted aesthetic and boasting a wonderful array of birdseye. This pipe receives a triple-C designation from Cavicchi, making official the quality of a piece any collector will readily appreciate.
