Claudio Cavicchi: Black Sandblasted Bent Dublin Tobacco Pipe

Marked by a towering, upright bowl imbued with a hearty, thick-walled demeanor, this bent Dublin from Claudio Cavicchi boasts a sweeping S-curve in back, the arrangement promoting a comfortable smoking posture with plenty of room at the transition to drape a digit. Housing an impressive chamber depth, this pipe is dressed in the Italian carver's Black sandblast, its ruby tones peeking out beneath a dark, glossy stain. The grain here, too, unsurprisingly, is quite handsome and pronounced, the tight-knit stacks of ring grain rippling up the bowl.
