Smooth Bent Dublin (CCC) Tobacco Pipe

With over 50 years of experience in making pipes, Claudio Cavicchi has become an expert in the craft with a renowned ability to showcase the best possible grain of each block of briar he uses. As with much of Cavicchi's portfolio, this bent Dublin elegantly embodies the bowl-forward nature of the Italian neoclassic pipe-making style without being overly gaudy. The saddle stem's slim bit helps to keep the attention on the bowl. It's minimal visual weight also allows the shank room to flare slightly into its face while avoiding detracting from the visual weight of the pipe's forward section. It's a subtle balance the artisan strikes here, all the more evidence of his decades-long experience and profound skill.

Cavicchi's pipes are made with comfort in mind, hence the handmade stem and the sweeping curve underlining the stummel for an optimal in-hand fit. Being a bit over five inches in length and less than two inches tall, it's not overly large. Combined with the moderately sized chamber, that makes this a versatile pipe capable of accommodating a variety of blends and life's occasions. With a gorgeous blonde stain that shows off dense grain and lovely speckles of plateau, this bent Dublin has more than earned its prestigious CCC grade. You'll want to take it with you and smoke at every opportunity.
