Claudio Cavicchi: Smooth Cherrywood with Olivewood (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 Cherrywood is a great example of Claudio Cavicchi's neoclassical shaping style. With a broad rim, a steep taper to the flattened base, and an upward sweep to shank and stem, this piece is a stunning desk pipe that's sure to keep you company. It's been finished in a honey-hued smooth finish, which displays some bright licks of flame grain climbing the bowl. To top it off, a beautiful piece of olivewood accents the shank end, its subtle patterns bridging the gap between the stummel's lighter tones and the jet-black stem, the composition well deserving its "CCC" grade.
