Claudio Cavicchi: Brown Sandblasted Bent Brandy 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 dressed in his signature smooth and sandblasted finishes. A supple, curvaceous design, this bent Brandy from Claudio Cavicchi is a comfortable smoker all around. Standing at the fore is a hearty bowl, its figure formed by thick walls reaching high from the plump, rounded base and tapering toward the flat rim. Out back is a muscular, upturned shank that's joined to a smartly bent saddle stem of jet-black acrylic, the arrangement's posture encouraging comfortable jaw hanging. Dressed in one of Cavicchi's brown sandblasted finishes, the stummel showcases organic growth rings that ripple up the bowl.
