Claudio Cavicchi: Smooth Bent Brandy (CCC) Tobacco Pipe

Languidly bent and squat in figure, this bent Brandy from Claudio Cavicchi is sure to provide a comfortable smoking experience. From the broad, rounded base, the bowl grows supple walls that taper gracefully toward the rim, creating a figure that contours naturally to the hand. A compact shank gently lifts from the bowl out back and carries a gradual taper into a demurely downturned stem, the arrangement lending a touch more visual weight to the front of the composition. The stummel features a fine display of grain, with swathes of lively vertical grain wrapping around the bowl and whorls of birdseye circling the rim and underside alike, all of which is presented beneath a light, honey-blonde stain.
