Claudio Cavicchi: Smooth Bent Dublin (CCC) Tobacco Pipe

This bent Dublin from Claudio Cavicchi showcases the Italian artisan's mastery of line and form. In typical Italian neoclassical style, the bowl here holds most of the visual weight within the composition, its towering height and muscular build overshadowing the comparatively trim shank-and-stem arrangement. Additionally, the bowl houses a respectably deep chamber within its thick, insulating walls, ensuring plenty of long, leisurely smoking sessions, which the subtly bent shank and stem are posed to aid. A handsome honey-blonde stain dresses the stummel and highlights tight tendrils of flame grain that rise in concert with the bowl's flare to a broad rim populated with plateau.
