Claudio Cavicchi: Smooth Bent Dublin (CCCC) Tobacco Pipe

Known for his skill in producing pipes with incredible grain, Caludio Cavicchi has been crafting incredibly functional and beautiful pieces for over 50 years. This bent Dublin is a more angular offering from the marque due to its checkmark-like silhouette informed by the sharply pointed heel. From said heel, the walls of the bowl flare toward a plateau-crowned rim that looks into a spacious tobacco chamber. Out back, a tightly-knit transition gives way to a tapering shank-and-stem arrangement that completes the pipe's bend toward the bit. The jet-black acrylic stem juxtaposes the honey-hued stummel, more than worthy of its "CCCC" designation, showcasing gorgeous flame grain across its bowl's flanks.
