Claudio Cavicchi: Smooth Volcano (CCCC) Tobacco Pipe

Product Number: 002-400-3699

Claudio Cavicchi is truly a master of his craft, and his ability to coax the best possible grain out of every piece of briar will always astound me. His over 50 years of experience ensures that his pipes are not only beautiful, but expertly shaped and precisely drilled. A fluid, Brandy-like take on the Volcano shape, this pipe alters the iconic form in a subtle way, taking the usually firm, ridgeline-wrapped base and rounding it out significantly. This point still acts as the visual center of the pipe, though it lends the composition a more soft, curvaceous appearance. Out back, the shank and stem lift out of a wide transition, the shank tapering subtly to reach the stem's sleek saddle of black acrylic, the combination's fluid bend making it ideal for comfortable smoking. Up front, the bowl sits atop the rounded base and its own pronounced heel, growing tapering walls that cant forward slightly as they reach toward a flat rim. Graded CCCC and dressed in a warm honey-mahogany stain, the stummel here showcases a wealth of handsome grain, with ample flame wrapping the bowl and a basin of birdseye across the underside.
