Claudio Cavicchi: Brown Sandblasted Bent Dublin Tobacco Pipe

A wide variety of bent Dublin iterations popular Claudio Cavicchi's prolific portfolio. The breadth of differentiation the Italian carver is able to present across a singular shape is impressive and speaks to the commitment and passion he brings to the craft. This particular example is a considerably protracted variation: The shank and stem initiating a languid bend the cants the bowl dramatically forward for a design that's hearty in hand but quite sleek and dynamic in profile. As is the case with every pipe he carves, Cavicchi's shaping has brought out the best this briar block has to offer as sandblasted growth rings stack densely up the bowl before blooming into natural plateau across the rim.
