Claudio Cavicchi: Smooth Bent Brandy (CCC) Tobacco Pipe

When it comes to finishes, Claudio Cavicchi is one of the best. His pieces never disappoint in regards to grain orientation, whether crisply sandblasted or dressed in a stunning vibrant stain as is the case with this bent Brandy. Vivid tongues of flame grain adorn the entire bowl, which offers plenty of chamber and a firm, rounded feel in hand. This bowl showcases a thoroughly robust build overall, with a low-set waistline that starts a slow taper to the rim, as well as a subtle forward cant which lends the pipe an easy dynamism. Paired to an equally hearty stretch of upturned shank and a lithe, well-bent saddle stem, this pipe is primed for comfortable smoking, with the stem's black coloration providing ample contrast against the stummel's honey-blonde dressing.
