Claudio Cavicchi: Smooth Bent Dublin with Spalted Beechwood (CCC) Tobacco Pipe

One of Italy's finest pipe makers, Claudio Cavicchi has carved pipes for over 40 years and is still going strong. Cavicchi crafts a wide variety of shapes, and each one showcases spectacular grain patterns in either a smooth or sandblasted finish. This bent Dublin boasts a tall, thick-wall bowl that flares from its firm heel to a broad, plateau-crowned rim. Said bowl houses a capacious chamber within its muscular frame, ensuring plenty of long, leisurely smoking sessions, which the flowing shank-and-stem arrangement out back is poised to aid. Cavicchi's honey-blonde smooth finish dresses the stummel and highlights gorgeous flame grain across the bowl's flanks, while an accent of spalted beechwood adorns the junction and adds a touch of complementary color to the pipe's palette.
